# Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F.
02 - Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium ovenproof skillet. Add the chopped spinach, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and garlic. Season with salt, black pepper, and oregano; toss to combine evenly.

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Eggs and feta were practically made for each other, the creamy tang cutting through rich yolks in the most satisfying way
- Everything cooks in one pan, which means maximum flavor with absolutely minimal cleanup
02 -
- Watch those eggs closely in the final minutes because they go from perfect to overcooked in the blink of an eye
- Letting the dish rest for just 2 minutes after baking helps the eggs finish cooking gently
03 -
- Use a cast iron skillet if you have one for the most even heating and gorgeous presentation
- Crack each egg into a small bowl first to avoid shell shards or broken yolks
