- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly in the skillet, making sure it covers the bottom.
- Allow the feta to cook for about 1-2 minutes until it starts to melt slightly and the edges begin to crisp.
- Carefully crack the eggs over the feta, spacing them apart so they’re not too close together.
- Season the eggs with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Let the eggs cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set, and the yolks are still runny.
- For firmer yolks, cook a bit longer according to your preference.
- Optional: Sprinkle chopped parsley and red pepper flakes over the eggs for added freshness and heat.
- Once cooked, gently slide the eggs and crispy feta out of the pan onto a plate.
