Hearty, colourful and full of Mediterranean flavour! These baked eggs with feta make the perfect treat for any time of day. The eggs are nestled into a tasty bed of courgette, peppers and tomatoes, while the feta creates a wonderfully tangy broth as it melts in the oven. Every spoonful offers a new taste experience – sweet roasted peppers, juicy cherry tomatoes, salty feta and perfectly poached eggs. This simple dish is ideal as a relaxed brunch or a quick, delicious dinner with some crusty bread and will bring the flavours of the Mediterranean straight to your home. Sprinkling fresh herbs over the top brings everything together and adds that final burst of freshness.
