A comforting, high-protein, one-dish baked meal featuring a creamy yogurt base, wilted spinach, and soft eggs topped with melted mozzarella.

If you are looking for a comforting, healthy breakfast or light, protein-packed dinner, this Oven-Baked Yogurt & Eggs with Spinach and Mozzarella is a complete game-changer. Inspired by the rich, creamy textures of Eastern Mediterranean breakfasts, this recipe bakes warm, tangy Greek yogurt together with perfectly runny eggs in a single dish. It is exceptionally diet-friendly and brilliantly simple, utilizing just one baking dish to save you from a mountain of cleanup. Because we are keeping this as a soft, easy-to-eat meal, the fresh baby spinach wilts beautifully into the warm yogurt base, while the cherry tomatoes burst to create a natural, sweet sauce. Swapping out the feta for a sprinkle of soft mozzarella gives it a wonderful gooey texture that pairs perfectly with the luscious egg yolk. Whether you need a quick start to your morning or a soothing, savory evening bowl, this baked egg recipe delivers warmth, high protein, and luxurious flavor without the fuss.

Ingredients

  • 120 g Greek Yogurt (about ½ cup)
  • 30 g Baby Spinach (1 large handful)
  • 50 g Cherry Tomatoes (about 4-5 tomatoes)
  • 2 count Eggs
  • 20 g Mozzarella (about 2 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  2. 2
    Spread the Greek yogurt evenly across the bottom of your small baking dish.
  3. 3
    Scatter the baby spinach and halved cherry tomatoes over the yogurt.
  4. 4
    Use the back of a spoon to make two small indents in the greens, then crack the eggs directly into those wells.
  5. 5
    Sprinkle the mozzarella evenly over the top.
  6. 6
    Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the whites of the eggs are set but the yolks are still soft.
  7. 7
    Remove carefully from the oven, let it cool for just a minute, and enjoy warm.

Chef's Tips

  • If your yogurt is very cold from the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before baking to prevent the dish from cracking.
  • For an extra flavor boost, try drizzling a tiny bit of pesto on top just before serving.
