WHY A PROTEIN-PACKED BREAKFAST IS ESSENTIAL.

Many people skip breakfast or grab something quick and processed, leading to energy crashes, cravings, and poor focus. A breakfast rich in protein, healthy fats, and nutrients sets the tone for the rest of the day.

Here’s why this Feta Egg Bake is a breakfast game-changer:

Protein Power – Eggs and feta are both excellent sources of protein, helping to support muscle recovery and keep you full for longer.

Nutrient-Dense – Eggs provide essential vitamins and minerals, including B vitamins, choline, and vitamin D.

Meal-Prep Friendly – Bake once and enjoy throughout the week. It stores well in the fridge and is easy to reheat.

Minimal Ingredients – Just eggs, feta, and a touch of seasoning make this dish incredibly simple and delicious.

Versatile – You can enjoy it on its own, with toast, or alongside a fresh salad.

Now, let’s get straight into the recipe.

FETA & EGG BAKE RECIPE.

Serves: 6 people

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

225g (8 oz) block feta cheese

12 large eggs

Handful of fresh basil for garnish

2 tbsp. olive oil

Salt & black pepper, to taste

METHOD.

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a 20×28 cm (8×11-inch) baking dish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

2. Place the block of feta in the centre of the dish. Crack the eggs around it, keeping the yolks intact for a rich, creamy texture.

3. Drizzle an extra tablespoon of olive oil over the eggs and season with salt and black pepper.

4. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set, and the feta has softened.

5. Once baked, use a fork to gently mix the eggs and feta together.

6. Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil.
