Ingredients List
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (block feta preferred for best melt)
- 1 tsp olive oil or butter
- 1 slice sourdough or crusty bread, toasted
- 1/2 avocado, sliced (optional)
- Crushed red pepper or chili flakes (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs like dill or parsley for garnish (optional)
Preparation Instructions
- Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter.
- Once hot, scatter the crumbled feta cheese in a circle (about the size of your eggs) and let it sizzle until it begins to crisp up, around 1–2 minutes.
- Crack the eggs directly over the feta cheese, gently placing one egg in the center of each cheese circle.
- Season with salt and pepper and cover the skillet with a lid. Let the eggs cook for 2–3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
- Remove the lid and let cook another 30 seconds if you want crispier edges.
- Slide the crispy feta eggs onto toasted sourdough and top with avocado slices, herbs, and chili flakes if desired.
Serving Suggestions
This feta fried eggs dish shines brightest when served fresh and hot, right off the skillet. It pairs perfectly with avocado toast, a side of fresh tomatoes, or even a light arugula salad.
