Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 2 large Eggs Use large eggs for the perfect balance of protein and creaminess.
  • Salt and Black Pepper Season to taste; opt for freshly ground black pepper for flavor boost.
For the Feta
  • 100 grams Crumbled Feta Cheese Adds a tangy flavor and crispy texture.
For the Cooking
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Quality extra virgin for a fruity undertone.
Optional Garnishes
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley Adds color and herbal notes; other herbs can work too.
  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Introduces a spicy kick; omit for milder flavor.

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a non-stick skillet, pour a generous amount of olive oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it shimmers. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese in an even layer across the bottom of the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly soft.
  3. Carefully crack large eggs over the cooked feta, spacing them apart. Gently pour the eggs to keep the yolks intact.
  4. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the eggs immediately after cracking.
  5. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and yolks remain runny. Cover for firmer yolks.
  6. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and red pepper flakes on top of the eggs just before serving.
  7. Carefully slide the eggs and crispy feta onto a warm plate, serve hot with crusty bread or a fresh salad.
