Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 1 tbsp fresh herbs chopped, optional
- toast, pita, avocado, or tortillas for serving
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add olive oil and let it warm for about 30 seconds.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta into two small circles or nests in the skillet.
- Let the feta sizzle for 30–60 seconds so it starts to melt and crisp.
- Crack one egg into the center of each feta nest.
- Season with black pepper and red pepper flakes if using.
- Cook until the egg whites are set and the feta edges are golden and crisp.
- Cover the skillet briefly if you want the yolks more cooked.
- Use a spatula to loosen the crispy feta from the pan.
- Serve right away with herbs, toast, pita, avocado, or tortillas.
Notes
Use medium heat so the feta crisps without burning before the egg cooks. Feta is salty, so taste before adding extra salt.
