My Viral Baked Feta Eggs!
This baked feta eggs recipe is my new fun creation that’s inspired by the viral baked feta pasta. And guess what, this dish also went viral and has been recreated by so many influencers and food accounts and readers since I created it. It’s a totally different way to make scrambled eggs, and I think you’re going to love it as much as I do!
Just put feta in a baking dish, crack a dozen eggs around it, season them, and then bake until the egg whites are set. After that, you just use a fork to scramble the eggs and cheese together until everything is creamy! I like to serve it with toast or scoop it into a pita pocket.
Happy Cooking!

Ingredients to Make Baked Feta Eggs
- Eggs: Twelve eggs or make a smaller batch with less eggs.
- Feta cheese: Use a whole block of feta cheese — no need to slice or crumble it.
- Olive oil: Adding olive oil to the baked feta eggs adds flavor, but you’ll also need it for greasing the baking dish so the eggs don’t stick. You can still expect a little sticking though so make sure to soak the dish for half an hour afterwards for easier clean-up
- Seasoning: I keep the seasonings simple with just salt and pepper since the feta flavors the whole dish! But feel free to add any seasoning. Try sprinkling ground cumin, coriander, paprika, curry powder, or red pepper flakes on the eggs before baking.

Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) block feta cheese
- 12 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for greasing the baking dish
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Pita pocket for serving
- fresh basil and/or mint for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease an 8×11 baking dish with olive oil.
- Place the feta block in the middle of the prepared baking dish. Crack 12 eggs around it, then drizzle olive oil over the feta and eggs. Season the eggs with salt and season both the eggs and feta with black pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, until the feta cheese melts and the egg whites around the edges cook.
- Use a fork to scramble the eggs and feta together. Don’t worry if some of the whites still look wet as they will continue cooking from the heat of the baking dish and surrounding eggs.
- Enjoy the eggs alone or scoop into pita pockets and garnish with mint or basil leaves.

Tips for Making the Best Oven-Baked Feta Eggs
- Make sure to grease the baking dish with olive oil. If you don’t, the eggs will stick horribly. If you worry that your baking dish may cause sticking, you can line up the baking dish with parchment paper for easier clean-up.
- Be careful not to overbake. You want the eggs to be jammy, making the final product fluffier.
- Don’t worry if the whites look wet when you pull the eggs out of the oven. When you scramble the eggs, the whites will continue to cook from the residual heat! If you wait until the whites are hard, the yolks will be over-cooked.
- Use a fork and scramble quickly. This will result in fluffier eggs!
- Bulk it up. Before baking, you could add chopped tomatoes, spinach (fresh or frozen!), or kale. After baking, swirl pesto, avocado crema or any sauce into the baked feta eggs!
What to Serve With Baked Scramble Feta Eggs
- Potatoes: Crispy Air Fried Hash Browns, Baked Sweet Potatoes, Garlic Roasted Potatoes
- Bread: Homemade Pita Bread, Focaccia, Olive Bread
Frequently Asked Questions
I haven’t tried it, but yes! You can definitely do that. I think it will work very well.
The eggs around the edges will cook first, but the ones around the middle may still be soft and jammy. That’s okay because as soon as you mix everything together, anything uncooked will immediately cook due to the residual heat of the pan. If you still feel like some parts are undercooked, pop it back in the oven for another 1-2 minutes.

delicious, added spinach. All my guests love it but even with olive oil it stuck some on the dish. I think although not as healthy PAM might work better.
So glad it was a hit with your guests, Judy!
This is one of my go-to meal prep. recipes. It’s so flavorful! I now add fresh spinach and grape tomatoes to up the fiber and nutrition. Thanks for a great recipe!
Love that it’s one of your go-to recipes, Jackie! Spinach and tomatoes are great add-ins!
Looks good! What temperature?
Hi Mary, I bake the eggs at 400ºF. You can find the full recipe instructions in the recipe card. Hope that helps!
This was a really easy and delicious meal. I must say I was a little weirded out by the egg texture when I was mashing it up, but was surprised how appealing it was once I took a bite. A single serving reheats remarkably well in the microwave. This recipe looks “wet” in the serving bowl, but it isn’t. It’s just the creamy feta that makes it appear so.
Thank you so much, Cici! So glad you liked how it turned out!!
I made this at the beginning of the week and then just left it out along with cooked bacon, shredded cheese and tortillas for my kids to make breakfast burritos. They loved the flavor and said they were more moist than traditional scrambled eggs.
Aww, love that!! So glad they were a hit with your kids!
I LOVE this way of making eggs. As a huge fan of eggs, in general, I love finding new and yummy ways of eating them. I have made these three weeks in a row and don’t know if I will ever stop lol. 10/10 would recommend!
Awesome!! Aww, so glad you love them! Thanks so much, Kiara!
I tried a quick microwave single serving: Microwaved 1 egg in a large mug, final 10 seconds added crumbled feta and roasted cherry tomatoes I had on hand. It was delicious!
Love that you were able to make a microwaved version!! Sounds so good! Thanks for sharing, Kim!!
I just made this and it was absolutely delicious, this will be on a regular rotation for sure. Yumna, do you think I can make burritos with this and freeze them?
Yay, so glad you liked it! I haven’t tried making this recipe into burritos or freezing it but I think it might work. You’ll have to experiment and let me know how it turns out!
Hi Yumna- I did freeze two burritos, then microwaved for a couple of minutes. The taste was just the same. So good! Thank you again!
Oh yay, that’s wonderful news!! Thanks so much for reporting back, Blair!
I definitely want to try this! It reminds me of eggs and areesh 😍 Is the taste similar at all?
The texture is kind of similar but it has that distinctive briny feta cheese flavor. I hope you like it!
This was so easy and delicious! It makes a great meal prep for the upcoming week of breakfasts. I cooked it for 18 minutes and it was cooked a little too much; next time, I’ll start checking it at 15 minutes.
Love that you’re using the recipe for meal prep, that’s great!! Thanks for sharing your experience with cook time!
Update…..I’ve made this three times now for meal prep. and I’ve added chopped fresh spinach too and it’s delicious!!! BTW, 15 minutes cook time works perfectly for my oven. Thanks for a great recipe.
Made this today and it it was so easy and delicious! I halved the recipe and it still turned out great! I used sheep and goat milk feta and it was truly decadent. I’m sure it would still be amazing with cow milk feta. This will be a staple. Thanks!
Yum, so happy to hear it works well with sheep and goat milk feta! Thank you, Lisa!!
How many days does this hold in kitchen? Looking for make ahead weekday meals. Thanks
