# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F.
02 - Drizzle olive oil in a small ovenproof skillet or baking dish.

04 - Add tomatoes, oregano, and black pepper. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, letting tomatoes release some juice.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The creamy feta and runny yolks create the most luxurious sauce without any heavy cream
  • It's impressive enough for brunch guests but easy enough for Tuesday morning
  • The Mediterranean flavors wake up your palate better than coffee ever could
02 -
  • Every oven is different, start checking at 10 minutes if you prefer runnier yolks
  • The eggs continue cooking after you remove them from the oven, so pull them when whites look set but yolks still jiggle
  • Letting the dish rest for 2 minutes before serving helps the flavors settle
03 -
  • Use individual gratin dishes if you want everyone to have their own portion
  • The pan should be sizzling when you add the eggs, this helps the whites set faster
  • Warm your serving plates so the eggs stay hot longer at the table
