  • 1 (15-oz.) can white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 shallot, cleaned and quartered lengthwise
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/4 c. halved Kalamata olives
  • 1/3 c. plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 (8-oz.) block feta, drained
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • Basil, torn, for garnish

Instructions

    Step 1
    Preheat oven to 400°. In a 12” baking dish or large skillet, combine tomatoes, beans, shallot, oregano, and olives. Drizzle with ⅓ cup olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
    Step 2
    Place feta in the center of tomato mixture and drizzle with remaining oil. Season feta with pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes. 
    Step 3
    Bake for 30 minutes, then remove from oven and stir until melted feta is mixed evenly with the other ingredients in the skillet. 
    Step 4
    Return skillet to oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and reduce oven temperature to 375°.
    Step 5
    Give the ingredients another good stir, then make 4 wells, and crack an egg into each. Bake until white is set and yolk is still runny, about 8 to 10 minutes.
    Step 6
    Season eggs with salt and pepper and garnish with basil. Serve with crusty bread or pita for dipping.
