Ingredients
-
2 large eggs
-
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
Salt, to taste
-
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
-
Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
-
Sprinkle crumbled feta evenly across the skillet, letting it cook for about 1–2 minutes until it begins to crisp and turn golden.
-
Crack eggs over the bed of feta, spacing them apart.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes until the whites are fully set and the yolks remain runny.
-
Garnish with fresh cilantro and red pepper flakes, if desired.
-
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the crispy, creamy combination of flavors!
Notes
-
For firmer yolks, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the yolks are cooked to your liking.
You can swap out the feta for other cheeses like goat cheese or parmesan, but feta brings the best flavor and texture for this dish.
Serve with a side of toasted bread or a light salad for a full meal.
