- Season the eggs and vegetables with salt and black pepper.

- Gently slide the feta eggs onto plates and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like basil or oregano before serving. Using feta from a block and crumbling it yourself will provide a richer flavor and better texture than pre-crumbled feta. Keep an eye on the garlic while sautéing to prevent burning, which can lead to a bitter taste.
