- Step 4: Using a fork, lightly stir all these ingredients together, breaking the egg yolks.
- Step 3: Place the dish in a pre-heated oven to 400°F/200°C or, faster in an air fryer.
- Step 4: After about 10 minutes, you’ve got a delicious casserole of eggs, spinach, feta and tomatoes. It’s so easy!

Variations
This is a spinach feta egg bake in its most simple form. Once you’ve nailed the basic version, here are a few ideas to keep things interesting:
Italian Inspired: Stir through chopped basil and swap feta for mozzarella and parmesan.
Mediterranean Style: Add black olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and oregano.
Spicy Mexican: Stir in a chopped jalapeño and top with grated cheddar and fresh coriander.
Middle Eastern: Add za’atar and serve with flatbread.
Equipment
All you need for this spinach feta egg bake is a casserole dish and a spoon or spatula to serve. It's a quick one pan dish.
Storage
Let leftovers cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll last 2–3 days easily.
To reheat, pop a slice in the microwave, air fryer or oven until warmed through. Or eat it cold — it’s just as good even if my dad says it isn't.
You can also freeze it. Slice into portions, wrap in clingfilm, and freeze. Defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat as needed.
Top Tip
Make it meaty. Add cooked bacon, sausage, or smoked salmon for a twist. I love it! It's not really any more work and tastes fantastic.
Final Thoughts
This Spinach Feta Egg Bake is one of those go-to recipes I keep coming back to. It’s simple, satisfying, and totally customisable.
You can eat it straight from the oven, cold from the fridge, or take it on the road. Dress it up or keep it basic — either way, it’s going to hit the spot.
So give it a try. I would love to hear what you think.
