Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large large eggs
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste Salt and black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Method
 

Cooking
  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, covering the bottom.
  3. Allow the feta to cook for about 1-2 minutes until it melts slightly and the edges turn crispy.
  4. Crack the eggs carefully over the feta, making sure they aren't too close together.
  5. Season the eggs with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks still runny. For firmer yolks, just cook a tad longer.
  7. Optional: Sprinkle chopped parsley and red pepper flakes over the eggs for added flair.
  8. Gently slide the eggs and crispy feta onto a plate. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

These eggs can be served on a bed of fresh greens, paired with toasted sourdough, or drizzled with balsamic glaze. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days in an airtight container. You can make the crispy feta in advance and fry the eggs fresh when ready to eat.
