Roughly portioned spinach white bean and feta egg bake with uneven golden edges
TooGut pickFlexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

Current make-ahead breakfast favourites keep pairing eggs with beans and greens for good reason: the beans add body without turning the bake heavy. Fold gently so they stay whole and the feta remains in recognisable chunks.

One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Cook the vegetables

Heat the oven to 190°C. Cook onion in oil for 5 minutes. Add spinach by handfuls and cook only until wilted. Cool slightly.

Whisk the custard

Whisk eggs, milk, lemon zest, salt and black pepper until combined but not foamy.

Fold gently

Add spinach mixture, beans, dill and two-thirds of the feta. Fold just enough to distribute without crushing the beans.

Leave an uneven top

Pour into a greased 20 x 28 cm dish. Break the remaining feta across the surface in differently sized pieces.

Bake until barely set

Bake for 28 to 33 minutes until the edges are golden and the centre has only a slight wobble. Rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
