# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat your oven to 375°F.
02 - Drizzle olive oil in a small ovenproof skillet or baking dish.
03 - Sauté onions and bell pepper over medium heat (in the same skillet if ovenproof) for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
04 - Add tomatoes, oregano, and black pepper. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, letting tomatoes release some juice.
05 - Remove from heat. Stir in feta (and optional Greek yogurt); spread evenly.

# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- Everything comes together in one pan and bakes while you sip your morning coffee without any fuss
- The salty feta melts into the vegetables creating a creamy sauce that perfectly balances the rich eggs
- Its impressive enough for weekend brunch but simple enough for any weekday morning
02 -
- Watch the oven closely after 10 minutes because eggs go from perfectly runny to overcooked in just a minute or two
- Make sure your skillet is truly oven safe before starting or you will have a messy situation on your hands
03 -
- Bring your eggs to room temperature before starting so they cook more evenly and predictably in the oven
- Use a cast iron skillet if you have one because it holds heat beautifully and creates the nicest texture on the bottom
