# How to Make:

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Everything cooks in one pan, which means zero washing up and more time for that second cup of coffee
- The way the salty feta melts into the sweet tomatoes creates this creamy sauce that you'll want to scoop up with every bite
02 -
- Every oven is different so start checking at 10 minutes because overcooked eggs with completely set yolks are honestly tragic
- The dish keeps cooking for a minute or two after you pull it out so factor that in when you're deciding if the eggs are done
03 -
- If your feta is extremely salty skip the additional salt on the eggs because you can always add it at the table but you can't desalt a dish
- Room temperature ingredients help everything cook more evenly so take the eggs and feta out of the fridge about 20 minutes before you start
