Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 50g feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking, preparing the pan for frying.
- Crisp the Feta: Add the crumbled feta cheese to the skillet and cook it until it becomes crispy and golden brown, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
- Add the Eggs: Carefully crack the eggs directly into the skillet among the crispy feta pieces, ensuring the yolks remain intact.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs to enhance flavor according to your taste preference.
- Fry the Eggs: Cook the eggs until the whites are fully set and the yolks reach your desired level of doneness, whether runny or firm.
- Serve: Immediately serve the fried eggs topped with the crispy feta for a warm, flavorful breakfast delight.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for best texture and flavor.
- Adjust salt carefully as feta cheese is naturally salty.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or thyme.
- Serve with toast or fresh vegetables for a complete meal.
- Crisping the feta first prevents it from becoming soggy under the eggs.
