Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 2 large Eggs Substitute with medium-sized eggs for smaller portions.
  • 100 grams Crumbled Feta Cheese Goat cheese can be used but will change the flavor profile.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Try garlic-infused olive oil for a deeper taste.
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust to your personal preference.
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper Freshly cracked pepper is best.
Optional Enhancements
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Omit if it's not on hand.
  • 1 pinch Red Pepper Flakes Substitute with paprika for a milder taste.

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Heat the Olive Oil: Add olive oil to a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Heat for 1-2 minutes until shimmering.
  2. Add Crumbled Feta: Once hot, sprinkle crumbled feta into the skillet in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Crack the Eggs: Carefully crack large eggs over the crispy feta, spacing them evenly in the skillet.
  4. Season the Eggs: Sprinkle salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the eggs.
  5. Cook Until Set: Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes; yolks should be bright and runny.
  6. Add Final Touches: Optionally sprinkle fresh parsley and red pepper flakes on top of the eggs.
  7. Serve Immediately: Slide the crispy feta and cooked eggs onto a plate and serve hot.
