- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves (optional)

Instructions
-
Preheat Oven & Prepare Base:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In an ovenproof dish, place the feta block in the center. Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes, olives, minced garlic, and spinach (if using) around the feta. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and pepper. -
Initial Baking:
Bake the feta and vegetable mixture for about 15 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and flavors to meld. -
Add the Eggs:
Remove the dish from the oven and carefully crack the eggs into small wells around the feta. Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes, until the egg whites are just set (adjust the baking time for your preferred egg doneness). -
Garnish & Serve:
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley, and serve immediately with crusty bread or your favorite side.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetener to taste.
- The pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a smoother texture, you can blend the peaches into a puree and swirl it into the pudding before serving.
