- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

Additional Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or basil, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Sauté vegetables: In a small oven-safe skillet or baking dish, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add red onion and cook until slightly softened. Stir in garlic, cherry tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and olives. Season with oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Cook until tomatoes begin to soften.
- Add eggs: Remove from heat and make wells in the mixture. Crack an egg into each well. Sprinkle feta cheese over the top.

- Garnish and serve: Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley or basil, and serve immediately with warm pita or crusty bread.
Notes
- For a firmer yolk, bake for an additional 1–2 minutes.
- Add a handful of spinach or chopped artichokes for extra Mediterranean flair.
