These Feta Baked Eggs are gluten free, high in protein, and made with only five ingredients. If you’re looking for a breakfast that’s easy, comforting, and packed with flavor, then these eggs are about to become your new favorite!

Scrambled eggs are a classic, easy breakfast that I have most mornings either with a side of fruit and chicken sausages or on toast. I’ve been loving adding cottage cheese to my eggs to not only make them fluffier but also to increase the protein in such an easy way. I wanted to switch things up, so I tried a viral recipe for feta baked eggs and I was HOOKED. But unlike the viral recipes going around, this one is single-serve and even more simple, making this the perfect quick breakfast, snack, or even lunch that’s ready in minutes!

With just a few simple ingredients, this recipe takes traditional scrambled eggs to another level by making them fluffier, creamier, and full of flavor. The feta is key to the creaminess of these eggs and adds more volume, protein, and healthy fats. Between the eggs and feta, this meal has with almost twenty grams of protein! If you’re having it with chicken sausage, coffee with collagen, or other protein sources, you can easily get more in. I’ve found that by prioritizing protein in my meals, especially in the morning, I have more energy, am fuller for longer, have less sugar cravings throughout the day, and less of a crash later in the afternoon. It’s one easy change that can make the biggest difference 🙌

On it’s own though, this has enough protein and healthy fats to keep you full and satisfied for hours. Whether you’re enjoying it as breakfast, lunch, a lighter dinner, or a quick snack, you’re good to go!

All of these were staples of mine last year and I don’t see that changing any time soon!

What You’ll Need

• Feta – I prefer using organic feta like this one, it’s a great source of protein! You can use other cheese if you prefer too or even dairy free.
• Eggs – I try to always get organic, the eggs are darker and typically the more orange, the more nutrient dense!
• Salt & pepper
• Seasonings & add-ins of choice – You can keep these super simple or add in chopped vegetables, herbs, greens, sausages, egg whites, etc.

How To Make

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and spray a small oven-safe baking dish with olive oil or avocado oil.
2. Add the feta to the center of the baking dish and crack the eggs around it.
3. Add salt, pepper, and seasonings of choice. (Tip: You can add anything here! I also love putting chopped vegetables, spinach, and cherry tomatoes for added fiber and color.)
4. Bake for eight to twelve minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolk is still jiggly.
5. Let them cool for a couple of minutes to finish setting and then mash with a fork so everything is evenly combined.
6. Serve with toast, on a wrap, with crackers, or enjoy as is!
