Description

A delightful breakfast dish featuring crispy feta cheese fried with perfectly cooked eggs, offering a balance of creamy and crunchy textures.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil or butter, for frying

Instructions

  1. Heat your skillet: Add a drizzle of olive oil or a pat of butter to your skillet over medium heat.
  2. Fry the feta: Sprinkle the crumbled feta into the skillet, and let it sizzle for about 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy.
  3. Crack the eggs: Gently crack the eggs over the crispy feta, ensuring no shell fragments.
  4. Cook to your liking: For sunny-side-up, let the whites set while keeping the yolks runny, or cover to steam for firmer yolks.
  5. Season and serve: Season with salt and pepper, then carefully slide the eggs onto a plate and enjoy.

Notes

Try swapping feta for goat cheese or adding herbs for extra flavor. Serve with sourdough toast or fresh greens for an elevated meal.
