Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by pouring a generous amount of olive oil into a non-stick skillet and place it over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Once the oil is hot, evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to turn golden and crispy.
  3. Carefully crack each large egg over the crispy feta in the skillet, ensuring they are spaced apart to give the whites room to spread. Lower the heat slightly.
  4. Sprinkle a touch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the eggs to enhance their natural flavors.
  5. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are fully set and the yolks remain runny.
  6. If desired, sprinkle some fresh parsley and red pepper flakes over the top for added color and a kick of heat.
  7. Carefully slide the eggs and crispy feta onto a plate and serve immediately.
  8. Consider serving with crusty bread for dipping, a fresh Greek salad, or avocado slices.
