This Mediterranean baked eggs and veggies pan is the perfect brunch for a small crowd! Heck, I’ve served it for brinner (breakfast-for-dinner!) It’s bright, flavor-packed, and comes together in minutes. And you’ll love the many ways you can change it up (a few ideas below). Healthy. Low Carb. Gluten Free.

My brunch arsenal leans vegetarian–at least the dishes I’ve made over and over, everyone’s favorites so to speak, are. Thanks to two ingredients: protein-packed chickpeas–the star of this epic brunch board and falafel patties–and to the humble egg, you can make an amazingly satisfying Mediterranean brunch.

There are some gorgeous egg dishes here on the blog that are perfect for brunch or even dinner: Breakfast Hash; and Baked Spinach Frittata, to name a couple. And I’ve been having fun with adding a runny egg on top of things like these Mediterranean grain bowls.

In today’s recipe, I decided to add 6 somewhat runny eggs to a pan of roasted veggies! Why not?!

How to Make Mediterranean Baked Eggs & Veggies

This egg bake is so simple!

-I used a variety of bell peppers and red onion, thinly sliced. Gave them all a toss in some EVOO and Mediterranean spices like za’atar, cumin, and sweet Aleppo chili (you can change up the spice combo, see ideas below.)

– The veggies go on a large sheet pan and into the oven to roast for a bit

-Then, in the last few minutes, add the eggs to the sheet pan. To do this, carefully make small wells in between the roasted veggies to drop the eggs in (it helps to crack the egg in a small dish first, then carefully slide it in.)

-Return sheet pan to the oven to bake for a few brief minutes just until the egg whites are set. Listen, if you like your eggs more well done, then just go longer.

A few finishing touches to this egg bake: a sprinkle more za’atar (because za’atar is just life!), fresh parsley, diced tomato, and some crumbled feta cheese! Totally optional stuff, but I love the combination of fresh items complimenting the tender roasted veggies.

A few Tips and Variations for these baked Eggs

–Leftovers? Leftovers will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge.To store, divide leftovers into glass containers with tight lids, however many meals you plan on, and refrigerate. Delicious at room temperature or warmed through. To warm, use a skillet on medium-heat just for brief minutes.

– Can I make these baked eggs ahead? In the world of eggs, probably my favorite make-ahead option is these breakfast egg muffins.

This is an easy enough recipe to make on the day you want to serve it. It will look best then, but if you want to try and work a little bit ahead, you can prep the peppers and onions in advance and store them in the fridge overnight. You can even roast the veggies a night or so ahead. Store them in the fridge in a tight-lid container. When ready, spread on sheet pan and follow recipe (instructions below from step #5.) I will say, this is not ideal, since you’ll be cleaning the sheet pan twice.

–Variations. You can really make this baked egg recipe your own. Change up the veggies to use what you have on hand; adjust roasting time accordingly (ex: zucchini, broccoli, thinly sliced carrots, spring onions.)

You can also play with a different spice combination (ex: if you like smoky flavors, use some smoked paprika with salt and pepper. Try harissa spice blend and a pinch of turmeric for a Moroccan twist. Dried oregano or basil for a little Italian.)

And if you really want to, you can add your choice of already cooked meat to this egg bake (rotisserie chicken; chorizo etc.)
