Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Heat your skillet: Add a drizzle of olive oil or a pat of butter to your skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the feta: Sprinkle the crumbled feta into the skillet, and let it sizzle for about 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Crack the eggs: Gently crack the eggs over the crispy feta, ensuring no shell fragments.
