As a mom of three, mornings in our house are a whirlwind. From lost socks to last minute homework searches, getting everyone fed and out the door can feel like a marathon. Yet, I truly believe that food is love, and starting the day with a nourishing meal sets a wonderful tone. That’s why I’m always on the hunt for simple, hearty, and utterly delicious breakfast options that don’t require me to be a short order cook before my first cup of coffee. Enter my absolute lifesaver: this incredible Mediterranean Egg Bake. It’s a dish that effortlessly brings the vibrant, fresh flavors of the Mediterranean right to your breakfast table.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

12 Large Eggs

1/2 cup Milk (any kind)

5 ounces Fresh Spinach, chopped (about 5 cups)

1 large Red Bell Pepper, diced

1/2 cup Sun Dried Tomatoes, oil packed, drained and chopped

4 ounces Feta Cheese, crumbled (about 1 cup)

1/2 cup Kalamata Olives, pitted and sliced

1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

1/2 teaspoon Dried Oregano

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Instructions

1. 1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Then, lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

2. 2. Sauté Vegetables: Next, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and sauté for 3-5 minutes until it begins to soften. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until it wilts completely, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. 3. Combine Ingredients: Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the large eggs, milk, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

4. 4. Assemble Bake: Then, spread the sautéed bell pepper and spinach evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Scatter the chopped sun dried tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced Kalamata olives over the vegetables.

5. 5. Pour Egg Mixture: Carefully pour the whisked egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese in the baking dish. Gently swirl the dish to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed and all ingredients are somewhat submerged.

6. 6. Bake: Finally, place the baking dish into the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the egg bake is set in the center and lightly golden brown on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

7. 7. Cool and Serve: Remove the Mediterranean Egg Bake from the oven. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the bake to set up properly.

Notes

For make ahead, assemble the bake (without baking) the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake as directed in the morning.

To freeze, cool completely, wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap, and store in a freezer bag for up to 2-3 months.

Reheat frozen slices in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in a toaster oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes.

Substitutions: Use frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry), any bell pepper color, or add chopped zucchini. For dairy-free, omit feta or use dairy-free crumbles.

Pro Tips: Press excess moisture from spinach; do not overmix eggs; distribute fillings evenly; let rest after baking for cleaner slices.
