Making Breakfast Casserole
Crafting a breakfast casserole is as simple as whisking, layering, and baking. The best part? You can customize it to fit your dietary needs or flavor preferences.

Breakfast casseroles are adjustable and freezer-friendly, making them a go-to recipe for clean-eating people.
Casserole Baked Feta Eggs Recipes
This casserole stands out because of its crispy feta edge goodness. Baking the feta cheese gives it a creamy texture and improves its tangy flavor, perfectly complementing the eggs. You can add cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or even olives to bring more Mediterranean vibes to the dish.
This baked recipe is wholesome, flavorful, and perfect for anyone looking to stick to a clean eating plan. You can even turn this casserole into the next level and make it into a feta cheese egg appetizer.
Kitchen Gadgets:
- Baking Dish: A medium-sized dish works best for evenly baking the casserole. Glass or ceramic dishes are ideal for consistent cooking.
- Fork: Perfect for whisking eggs and breaking up the block of feta into creamy chunks.
Ingredients:
- Block of Feta Cheese: Choose a high-quality feta for the creamiest texture and best flavor. You can also opt for a goat milk-based feta if you prefer.
- Eggs: The base of the casserole, giving it structure and richness. Use fresh, free-range eggs if possible for optimal taste.
- Oil Spray: Avocado oil spray works great for clean eating. It keeps everything from sticking to the baking dish and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Italian Seasoning: Adds flavor with herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme. If you’re out, mix your own with dried herbs from your pantry.

FULL INSTRUCTIONS WITH STEPS FOR EGGS AND FETA CASSEROLE
First Step: Have Ingredients Ready
Start by gathering all the ingredients and tools you’ll need for the recipe. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit ( 200 degrees Celsius) to make sure it’s hot and ready when needed. Spray your baking dish with a light coat of oil to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
Second Step: Put Feta inside the Pan and Pour Oil
Place the feta block in the middle of your prepared baking dish. Drizzle a small amount of oil to help it melt and develop a creamy texture while baking. This step lays the foundation for a rich and flavorful casserole.
Third Step: Crack Eggs Around Feta and Season
Carefully crack the eggs one by one and place them around the feta. Avoid breaking the yolks or mixing the egg white so the dish looks appetizing, not scrambled eggs. Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over the feta block and egg for a burst of herby flavor.
Fourth Step: Cook in the Oven
Slide the baking dish into the oven and let it bake for about 25 minutes. Let the feta cheese melt and the eggs should be set but still a little soft in the center for the best texture. Keep an eye on it near the end of the cooking time to avoid overcooking.
Fifth Step: Combine Feta and Eggs
Once out of the oven, use a fork to scramble the eggs and feta together. This step avoids making it as a feta fried egg and instead creates a creamy casserole with bursts of flavor in every bite. Serve warm and enjoy the perfect blend of rich, cheesy, and savory goodness.
TRICKS AND TIPS:
- Use quality feta cheese: Opt for a block of feta cheese packed in brine for the best flavor and creaminess. Crumbly feta may not melt as well.
- Keep an eye on baking time: If you prefer runnier yolks, reduce the baking time by a few minutes. For fully cooked eggs, bake a little longer.
- Season creatively: Italian seasoning works great, but you can also try smoked black pepper, paprika, chili flakes, or fresh herbs like dill or parsley for a twist.
- Non-stick tip: Always oil-spray your baking dish to avoid the hassle of sticky cleanup later, olive oil is an option.
