Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375F. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and fennel. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, and paprika, and cook 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.

Step 2

Add tomatoes and juices and season with salt and pepper. Bring up to a simmer while breaking tomatoes apart. Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in feta and lemon juice.

Step 3

Gently crack eggs into skillet over tomatoes. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until eggs are just set, 7 to 10 minutes (yolks will still be slightly runny). Garnish with fennel fronds and chopped parsley. Serve warm with bread.

Farm Team Tips:

Want to make things even easier? You can make the tomato mixture a couple days ahead of time. When you’re ready to serve, heat it in the 375-degree oven for 15 minutes before adding the eggs on top and baking for an additional 10 minutes. It’s a super easy way to have a delicious and impressive breakfast dish on the table.

Hello Elizabeth. We're so glad you reached out to us. We're sorry to hear that the eggs seem to break easily when flipping over. Sometimes as hens age, the composition of their eggs changes and becomes more watery. This may account for some of the breakage. We'd be glad to check into this if you would be able to send us an email to: [email protected] Thanks for reaching out!

This is definitely a pretty rich dish, but you can always eliminate the cheese and bread for a lighter meal if you'd like, Frances. We can't recommend that you eat the yolks raw, but as long as you allow the whites to fully cook in the oven for 7-10 minutes (see step 3), you can definitely leave the yolks a bit runny. We hope this helps!
