Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- ¾ oz / 20g feta cheese
- 1 small tortilla or slice of toasted bread
- ¼ avocado
Seasonings and Garnish
- Dried oregano
- Red pepper flakes
- Cooking oil spray or olive oil spray
- Lemon juice
- Pickled onions (for garnish)
- Chili oil (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: In a small fry pan or skillet, add a spray of cooking oil and crumble the feta cheese evenly, making sure to cover the outside circle of the pan as well.
- Sauté the feta: Cook the feta over medium heat for a couple of minutes until it starts to sizzle and melt without burning, creating a golden-brown crust around the edges.
- Add the egg: Gently crack the egg into the center of the pan over the melted feta. Season with dried oregano and red pepper flakes.
- Cook the egg: Allow the egg to cook to your preferred doneness, whether that is with a runny yolk or medium cooked.
- Prepare the base: Warm the tortilla on a gas stove, oven, or microwave. Smash the avocado on top and add a squeeze of lemon juice for freshness.
- Assemble the dish: Once the egg is cooked and the feta has formed a crispy crust, carefully remove it from the pan using a spatula and place it on top of the tortilla with avocado.
- Add garnishes: Top with pickled onions and drizzle chili oil over the egg. Serve immediately and enjoy your Crispy Feta Fried Eggs!
Notes
- Use a non-stick pan to avoid the feta and egg sticking to the pan.
- You can substitute the tortilla with toasted bread or a gluten-free wrap for variation or dietary needs.
- If you prefer, omit the chili oil or use hot sauce as an alternative for spice.
- Pickled onions add a tangy crunch; if unavailable, consider using fresh red onion slices or omit altogether.
- Control the cooking time of the egg to get your preferred yolk consistency.
