Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.

03

In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, and chopped dill.

04

Spread the feta and herb mixture evenly over each slice of bread, creating a slight well in the center of each slice.

05

Carefully crack one egg into the well of each bread slice.

06

Bake for 12-15 minutes at 375°F (190°C), or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired consistency.

Chef's Tips

For a softer yolk, bake for closer to 12 minutes. For a firmer yolk, bake for 15 minutes. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the feta mixture for a little heat.

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have dill, you can use an extra tablespoon of parsley or a teaspoon of dried oregano. Goat cheese or ricotta can be used in place of feta for a different flavor profile.
