# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The feta creates these incredible creamy pockets as it melts, almost like a savory custard forming around the eggs
- It comes together in under 30 minutes but looks and tastes like something from a restaurant
- Everything bakes in one pan, so you get maximum flavor with almost zero cleanup
02 -
- The eggs continue cooking after you remove them from the oven, so pull them out when the whites look just set
- Using individual ramekins instead of one large skillet changes the baking time, so check after 8 minutes
- The feta will become very salty as it concentrates during baking, taste the vegetable mixture before adding extra salt
03 -
- Room temperature eggs will cook more evenly and give you better control over the final texture
- If your feta is very moist, pat it dry before adding to prevent the dish from becoming too watery
