Ingredients

For the Eggs

2 large Eggs Use fresh eggs for best flavor and texture.

For the Feta

1/2 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese Substitution: Goat cheese or ricotta can be used, but won’t achieve the same crispiness.

For Cooking

2 tbsp Olive Oil Choose a high-quality oil for better flavor.
Salt and Black Pepper Adjust according to taste preferences.

Optional Garnishes

1 tbsp Fresh Parsley Adds fresh herbal notes and vibrant color.
1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes Adjust for spice preference.

Equipment

Non-stick skillet

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes until shimmering.
Spread ½ cup of crumbled feta cheese evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edges are golden and crispy.
Carefully crack large eggs over the crisping feta, ensuring enough space between them for even cooking.
Lightly season the eggs with salt and black pepper to enhance flavor, adjusting per your taste.
Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
Optionally sprinkle with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes, then serve immediately.
