Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep it in the morning before the girls wake up, then finish it right before dinner. The vegetables keep well overnight in the fridge, and finishing with fresh eggs keeps the texture bright.

What if I do not have feta?

You can substitute goat cheese or a mild ricotta. The texture will be different, but the creamy contrast to the eggs will remain. Adjust salt accordingly.

How do I get a runny yolk without overcooking the whites?

Bake at 400°F (200°C) and check at 12 minutes. The whites should be set while the yolk remains soft. If the whites are still wobbly, give it one more minute and check again.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes. Use a larger baking dish and increase baking time slightly. Check the eggs at the 15 minute mark and give an extra 3 to 5 minutes if needed.

Is this recipe kid friendly?

Yes. Kids enjoy the bright colors and the dipping bread. Reduce or omit any spicy additions for younger palates. Let them help with simple tasks like halving cherry tomatoes to make them feel involved.
