HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

02

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 1 minced garlic clove and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

03

Add 1 pint of halved cherry tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften and burst.

04

Stir in 4 ounces of diced halloumi cheese and cook for 2 minutes, allowing it to slightly warm through.

05

Create four small wells in the tomato mixture and carefully crack 1 large egg into each well. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.

06

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still slightly runny (or cooked to your preference).

07

Remove from oven, garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For an extra touch of flavor, serve with a drizzle of good quality extra virgin olive oil or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. You can also add a sprinkle of feta cheese at the end for more tang.

Easy Substitutions

Spinach or kale can be added with the tomatoes for extra greens. Feta cheese can be used instead of halloumi, though it will melt more. Feel free to experiment with other herbs like fresh basil or dill.

Storage & Reheating

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or oven until warmed through, though the egg yolks may no longer be runny.
