Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease two oven-safe ramekins.
- In a bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, and minced garlic.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the ramekins. Top with crumbled feta, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of dried oregano.
- Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and gently stir the feta into the tomato mixture. Create two small wells in each ramekin.
- Crack an egg into each well. Return to the oven and bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
- Season with salt, pepper, and garnish with fresh basil.
