No reviews

Quick, flavorful breakfast featuring eggs cooked over crispy feta cheese for a delightful contrast of textures.

  • 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

  1. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly in the skillet, making sure it covers the bottom.
  3. Allow the feta to cook for about 1-2 minutes until it starts to melt slightly and the edges begin to crisp.
  4. Carefully crack the eggs over the feta, spacing them apart so they’re not too close together.
  5. Season the eggs with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Let the eggs cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set, and the yolks are still runny.
  7. For firmer yolks, cook a bit longer according to your preference.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle chopped parsley and red pepper flakes over the eggs for added freshness and heat.
  9. Once cooked, gently slide the eggs and crispy feta out of the pan onto a plate.
  10. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Best eaten fresh, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Reheat gently to maintain texture.
