Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Dairy
- 2 large eggs
- 100 grams crumbled feta cheese
Seasonings
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Oils and Herbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat Oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer, indicating it’s hot enough for cooking.
- Cook Feta: Spread 100 grams of crumbled feta cheese evenly in the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges of the feta turn golden brown and crisp.
- Add Eggs: Carefully crack 2 large eggs over the feta, spacing them evenly to ensure even cooking.
- Season Eggs: Immediately season the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
- Cook Eggs: Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, allowing the egg whites to set while keeping the yolks runny or cooked to your preference.
- Garnish: Optionally sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley and 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes over the eggs and feta for added flavor and color.
- Serve: Gently slide the crispy feta and fried eggs from the skillet onto a warm plate and serve immediately for a delicious Mediterranean breakfast boost.
Notes
- Using a non-stick skillet helps prevent the feta and eggs from sticking and ensures easy flipping or sliding onto the plate.
- For firmer yolks, cook the eggs an additional minute or two.
- Red pepper flakes add heat; adjust quantity according to your spice preference.
- Fresh parsley adds a bright, fresh note and visual appeal.
- This dish pairs well with crusty bread or toasted pita for a complete breakfast.
