Ingredients
Scale
Egg and Feta
- 1 large egg
- ¾ oz / 20g feta cheese
- Cooking oil spray or olive oil spray
- Dried oregano, to taste
- Red pepper flakes, to taste
Accompaniments
- 1 small tortilla or slice of toasted bread
- ¼ avocado
- Lemon juice, a squeeze
- Pickled onions, for garnish
- Chili oil, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan and Feta: Spray a small frying pan or skillet lightly with cooking oil. Crumble the feta cheese evenly over the pan, ensuring the edges are covered to form a circle for a crispy crust.
- Sauté the Feta and Crack the Egg: Heat the pan over medium heat, letting the feta cheese sizzle and begin melting but not burn, for a couple of minutes. Then gently crack the egg into the center of the crumbled feta.
- Season and Cook the Egg: Sprinkle dried oregano and red pepper flakes over the egg to taste. Cook the egg to your preferred doneness—whether with a runny yolk or more set.
- Warm the Tortilla and Prepare Avocado: While the egg cooks, warm the tortilla on a stove, in the oven, or microwave. Smash the avocado onto the warm tortilla and add a squeeze of lemon juice for bright flavor.
- Assemble the Dish: When the egg is cooked and the feta base has formed a golden brown crust, carefully lift the feta-crusted egg from the pan with a spatula and place it on the avocado-covered tortilla.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with pickled onions and drizzle chili oil over the dish. Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy feta fried eggs!
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the feta and eggs from sticking and ensure an easy flip.
- Adjust seasoning amounts to your taste preference, especially the red pepper flakes for desired heat.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the tortilla or bread with a gluten-free bread or wrap.
- Pickled onions and chili oil add a fantastic balance of tang and spice but can be omitted or substituted if preferred.
- Ensure the pan is at medium heat to avoid burning the feta while allowing it to crisp nicely.
