When fried feta eggs went viral last year, beyond enjoying shakshuka, I had never thought to use this delicious cheese in my morning routine. This hack got so popular that I couldn’t scroll on social media without running into someone sprinkling the curds on their breakfast. But lately, while scrolling on TikTok, I noticed that a new version of this trend has been popping up, and it looks equally delicious. 

Fried feta eggs are a thing of the past. The hottest new trend with this tangy cheese involves a rule-breaking cooking method — baking the eggs in the oven.

To create the viral baked feta eggs, place the feta in a baking dish, crack a few eggs on top, season with salt and pepper, and bake for about 15 minutes until the eggs are set. After removing the dish from the oven, stir everything together until it resembles a creamy scramble.

People on social media are obsessing over this new trend. One person commented on the TikTok video showcasing how to make baked feta eggs, saying, “Yum, this looks amazing.” Another user pointed out how the dish looks “so tasty.”

This recipe shines for two reasons: First, it’s customizable. You can toss vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or peppers into this dish or enhance its flavor by drizzling in chili crisp, pesto, or perhaps a creamy hollandaise sauce. Secondly, it doesn’t require your presence cooking over the stove since all you have to do is pop it in the oven. (If you have a busy morning routine, you can use that extra 15 minutes to do something else!)

So, if you’ve been stuck in a breakfast rut and are looking for a new way to upgrade your morning routine, you may want to try these viral baked feta eggs to start your day on a delicious note.
