This tasty Vegetable Egg Bake with Peppers, Tomatoes, and Feta is a recipe I created when I was just making something to eat, and I had one of those big containers of cherry tomatoes from Costco on the counter (sound familiar?) And the recipe turned out so well I decided to make it again and take photos for the blog.
I always have a hard time using all those tomatoes before they start to shrivel, and when I was thinking about what to do with slightly-past-their-prime cherry tomatoes I hit on the idea of roasting them to use in a breakfast casserole. There was a green bell pepper in the fridge, and adding some dried oregano and Feta cheese gave it a nice pop of Greek flavor.
I’ve made a lot of low-carb breakfast casseroles through the years by simply combining what’s in the fridge, and I think this new Vegetable Egg Bake combination is definitely a winner! I hope you try it the next time you end up with cherry tomatoes that are begging to be used.
What ingredients do you need for this recipe?
(This is only a list of ingredients; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)
- green bell pepper
- Olive Oil (affiliate link)
- Dried Oregano (affiliate link)
- cherry tomatoes
- crumbled Feta cheese
- eggs
- Spike Seasoning (affiliate link), or other all-purpose seasoning blend
- salt and fresh ground black pepper
Can you make the Vegetable Egg Bake with fresh chopped tomatoes?
If you have lots of garden tomatoes, you can definitely make this recipe with a cup of fresh-chopped tomatoes instead of cherry tomatoes. I’d cut the tomatoes and drain them in a colander before you roast them.
Can you use other roasted veggies in the Vegetable Egg Bake?
Definitely you could add other vegetables to this recipe such as mushrooms, zucchini, or eggplant. I would roast it on a baking sheet and then drain for higher-liquid vegetables like mushrooms and zucchini.
What if you’re not a fan of Feta cheese?
If you’re not a fan of Feta, use another white cheese like goat cheese, Swiss, or Mozzarella in the Vegetable Egg Bake.
How to make the Vegetable Egg Bake:
(This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)
- Cut the green pepper into short strips.
- Brush the baking dish with olive oil, then add peppers, sprinkle with oregano and roast peppers in a 375F/190C oven for about 10 minutes.
- While peppers roast, cut cherry tomatoes in half.
- Add the cut tomatoes to the casserole dish, and stir to distribute. Roast about 15 minutes more, or until the tomatoes are starting to look a bit shriveled.
- Beat the eggs and crumble the Feta.
- Sprinkle crumbled Feta cheese over the roasted tomatoes and bell pepper.
- Pour over the beaten egg that’s seasoned with Spike Seasoning (affiliate link), salt, and fresh ground black pepper. (I always stir this a little to get the ingredients well-distributed in the egg.)
- Bake the casserole about 30-35 minutes (or a bit less if you use a shallower dish than I did), or until the top is lightly browned and eggs are set.
- It will puff up a bit like this when it first comes out of the oven, but it settles down after it cools for a few minutes.
- Serve Roasted Green Pepper and Tomato Breakfast Casserole hot.
- This is good with a little sour cream to add at the table if you’re a sour cream fan.

Vegetable Egg Bake with Peppers, Tomatoes, and Feta
This delicious low-carb Vegetable Egg Bake with Peppers, Tomatoes, and Feta uses cherry tomatoes so you can make it any time of year!
Ingredients
- 1 green bell pepper, seeds removed and cut into thin strips
- olive oil, for brushing baking pan (or use nonstick spray)
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano (optional, but good)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half (see notes)
- 1 cup crumbled Feta cheese (more or less to taste)
- 10 eggs
- 1 tsp.ย Spike Seasoning
- salt and fresh ground black pepper for seasoning eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven or toaster oven to 375F/190C.
- Brush 9″ x 13″ (or similar size) baking dish with olive oil, including the sides, or spray with nonstick spray.
- Cut out seeds from green pepper, then cut into short thin slices.
- Put green pepper into baking dish, sprinkle dried oregano over, and roast for 10 minutes.
- While green pepper roasts, cut cherry tomatoes in half. Break eggs into a bowl and beat until egg yolks and whites are well combined.
- Season eggs with Spike Seasoning (affiliate link), salt, and fresh ground black pepper.
- After peppers roast for 10 minutes, add cut cherry tomatoes and stir to combine.
- Put dish back in oven and roast 15 minutes more, or until tomatoes start to look slightly cooked.
- Sprinkle Feta cheese over roasted peppers and tomatoes, then pour beaten eggs over. (I used a fork to stir slightly so the roasted peppers and tomatoes were evenly distributed in the eggs.)
- Return pan to oven and cook for about 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and eggs are set. (I had a deep dish, so if you’re using a flatter dish it will take less time.
- It will puff up a bit when it cooks, but after it cools for a few minutes the casserole will settle.)
- Serve hot.
- This is good served with a dollop of low-fat sour cream or plain yogurt.
- This casserole can be kept in the fridge and reheated in a microwave, but be careful not to microwave too long or the eggs will get rubbery.
Notes
This is a perfect way to use those last few cherry tomatoes that are getting a bit shriveled.

I didn't know that a veggie recipe could be so tasty! Thanks for sharing with us!
So glad you enjoyed it!
This is one of the most nutrient-dense casserole I've seen! I will definitely give it a try! Can I use regular tomatoes?
Glad you like it. Cherry tomatoes are not quite so juicy, so if you use regular diced tomatoes I'd drain them in a colander while the peppers are roasting. Hope you enjoy!
Call me stupid-I can't figure out where your Yummly button is?????
It's the orange button at the top of the button that says Yum. No worries!
This is a burst of flavors! Especially I love the combination of cheese and tomatoes always.
Thanks; glad you like it!
Michael, so glad you enjoyed!
This was excellent! I love how you can do all three steps in one pan…making the clean up super easy. I don't have spike seasoning so in place I use Trader Joe's Seasoning Salute. Delicious!
Egg casseroles will last at least a week in the fridge. You can even cut them into serving-size pieces and keep in individual containers; then just pull one out and microwave each morning. Any type of low-fat cheese will work; I use low-fat grated mozzarella quite a bit.
Hi
Your SBD breakfast recipes look amazing! I just have a couple questions. I do shift work and I'm employed full time. If precooked the egg recipes, how long would the last in the refrigerator? My plan is to cut some up each time I'm working when I need breakfast. Also, I'm not a huge fan of feta, can you recommend any other cheese that may be nice in these recipes? thank you so much
Thi was awesome! Because of dietary restrictions I switched the peppers for mushrooms and added Italian Sausage, was awesome, thanks so much for sharing
If you click the link in the recipe it explains what Spike Seasoning is. If you don't find it, you can use any type of all-purpose seasoning, but I really like Spike.
What is Spike seasoning? That's not something I have found in the spice aisle here in rural E TX. Is it something I can concoct myself? If not exactly what can I use to get the approximate flavor of it? This is on my list of bunch meals for next weekend. ๐
Thanks Kelsum, glad you like it.
Love this Kalyn. I do something similar but not in casserole form but I can see how this would be so much better!
Jana, Spike comes with and without added salt. I usually say "salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste" so people can decide how much salt they want.
this looks tasty and simple. i would suggest leaving the salt out, though. spike seasoning already has salt in it. :o)
I'm sorry I didn't see this recipe when peppers and tomatoes were at their peak in the garden. I've printed and will save it for this summer.
Laura, hope you enjoy it.
Anonymous, I would suggest eating more vegetables and less calorie dense foods like meat, nuts, and dairy products. I think the more vegetables you can eat the better. Soups with lots of veggies are good for winter.
Kalyn, I am enjoying the daily recipes. I've lost 20 lbs due to the south beach way of life. I have about 30 more lbs to go. But, now that the weather has changed and salads are not so satisfying, I am having a hard time maintaining that weight loss. Due to this and the holidays, Ive gained 7 lbs and am very discouraged. Any suggestions?
My family loves eggs and feta-will be making this recipe very soon!
Jeanette, that's exactly what I thought when I made it!
What a great idea for an egg casserole – love Greek flavors, and this is a nice way to put the rest of this summer's tomatoes and peppers to good use.
Melissa, so glad you liked it. I think asparagus would be great.
This is YUMMY! I decided to cook it in a larger dish because when I got the green pepper in the bottom of the smaller dish it seemed like too much for me. I added 2 more eggs to compensate for spreading it out. I'm wondering how yummy this would be with asparagus instead of green pepper. I absolutely love asparagus and egg. Oh, and when I read the recipe I thought that bacon would be a perfect addition then I saw someone else asked about that too so I went ahead and added that to mine. This is such a keeper!!!! Thanks!
Cameron, so glad you liked it!
I'm eating some for breakfast this morning at work as I type this. My girlfriend and I have been loving your breakfast casseroles and this one is a special treat. Thanks!
looks delicious.. breakfast cassaroles are always game with me, any day, any time! i wanted to plant a cherry tomato tree just for the reason that i can't seem to ever finish a box of cherry tomatoes from supermarket. this is a good recipe for leftover cherry tomatoes.
This sounds soooooo tasty! I love all of the ingredients and agree that this is probably a GREAT way to use up the extra tomatoes in the carton. I can never finish one either ๐
This looks great Kalyn! We love a great egg casserole and are always looking for ways to add fresh produce. I love it when great recipes happen by accident.
I love roasting veggies, brings out the best flavor. Great recipe!
Dara, any time! That would be fun.
Someday I am going to show up on your doorstep for breakfast. You make such wonderful egg casseroles!
Martha, this will keep in the fridge for at least a week. (At the end of the recipe, I talked about how to reheat in the microwave.)
Hi Kalyn,
Will this keep at all? My husband isn't a fan of baked eggs, but this dish is right up my alley. If it will keep, I'll make it for myself and eat the left-overs.
Thanks,
Martha
I love roasted veggies, too. They sound great in that breakfast casserole ๐
This looks good enough for dinner. Oh heck, any meal!
I make your zucchini breakfast casserole all the time. This one will be on my list soon!
Thanks again, Kalyn!
I stopped by your blog today. This looks delicious.
Ann
Laura, sounds good!
I just made something like this with thinly sliced zucchini, yellow and red grape tomatoes, and a little bit of monterrey jack that had some olive and red pepper in it. I made it in a frying pan. I sauteed the vegetables in olive oil with a little bit of oregano and lemon pepper and then poured over the eggs. I helped the top set up by covering the pan at the end of cooking (after adding the cheese on top).
Thanks again everyone!
Biggles, you can definitely add bacon to yours. (Oh yes, everything tastes good with bacon, don't I know it!)
Dawn, I can't wait for my Roma tomatoes to get ripe this year, because I've been out of slow-roasted tomatoes for months now. So glad you are enjoying them. They would be great in this.
No bacon?
xo, Biggles
After you published your recipe for slow-roasted tomatoes a couple of years ago, I've been making them and freezing them….using them year round and in so many things. I recently made hummus and used them in that! Oh my goodness, the stuff flies out the door. My sister-in-law told me she was taking the entire container home with her and she DID!! Thanks for getting me started on those!
Dawn
kalyn, there is something so wonderful about Warm and Gooey. This looks great !! and healthy, too.
This looks pretty and so easy. This would be a good week night dinner.
This looks fantastic, can't wait to try it. Love that it's all done in one dish, too.
Great idea to roast the peppers and tomatoes in the same pan that you bake the eggs in. Love having a shortcut!
Looks fabulously delicious too. Planning on making it this weekend. Thanks Kalyn.
Savoury breakfasts are for me Kalyn:D
Thank you all for the nice thoughts about this recipe. I'm just about to eat some leftovers for breakfast this morning!
Looks great kalyn. I have a breakfast casserole here that I got from a neighbor. it's really good, but has way to many potatoes. i'm working on adapting it, this looks great!
I'm still getting over your great tip for trimming beans by the handful in your last post, now I see this wonderful dish, using some of my fave ingredients.
The good thing for me is that it's winter here, so something like this seems perfect!
That looks sooo good, Kalyn! I'm all about roasted veggies and for some reason tend to make it too complicated or time consuming in my head. This is such an easy, beautiful, and tasty dish … thank you. ๐
Shirley
Roasted veggies can spruce up any dish, but especially roasted tomatoes. What a great casserole!
This looks so goooood! My husband will probably gobble the whole thing himself when I make it. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Looks like a keeper for me.
This is a very hearty breakfast..
Found you through the recent google blog post feed, this looks delish! Thank you!
I really loved the recipes you have listed I do want to try the "Roasted green bell pepper and tomatoe casserole". I have to say I may copy the whole page for my recipe card file.
Sara
Thanks Lydia!
Brenda, I haven't used egg substitute that much, so I'm not sure it would taste as good, but I think it would work.
I love Costco inspired meals. I am trying to work through some shrimp I bought recently.
How do you think this would work with egg substitute instead of eggs? For WW that would cut the points almost in half. (and nonfat feta)
Fantastic idea to roast the pepper along with the tomatoes!
