Ingredients

Scale

Egg and Cheese

  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ oz (20g) feta cheese
  • Cooking oil spray or olive oil spray
  • Dried oregano, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste

Tortilla and Toppings

  • 1 small tortilla or slice of toasted bread
  • ¼ avocado
  • Lemon juice, a squeeze
  • Pickled onions, for garnish
  • Chili oil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Feta Cheese: In a small fry pan or skillet, spray a light coating of cooking oil and crumble the feta cheese evenly, making sure the cheese covers the outer edges of the pan. This helps form the crispy crust.
  2. Sauté the Feta Cheese: Heat the pan over medium heat and allow the feta cheese to sizzle and melt gently for a couple of minutes. Be careful not to burn the cheese as it forms a golden crust.
  3. Cook the Egg: Carefully crack the egg into the center of the pan amidst the melting feta. Season with dried oregano and red pepper flakes according to your taste. Let the egg cook to your preferred doneness, whether that is a medium yolk or runny.
  4. Prepare the Tortilla: While the egg cooks, warm the tortilla using a gas stove, oven, or microwave. Once warm, smash the avocado on top and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness.
  5. Assemble and Serve: When the egg is cooked and the feta has turned a golden brown crust, gently lift it out of the pan with a spatula and place it on top of the prepared tortilla. Garnish with pickled onions and drizzle chili oil over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy your Crispy Feta Fried Eggs!

Notes

  • Use a non-stick skillet for best results to prevent sticking of the feta and egg.
  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control spice level.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure the tortilla is gluten-free or substitute with toasted gluten-free bread.
  • The feta cheese crust adds a unique texture and flavor but be attentive to avoid burning it.
  • The avocado and lemon juice add freshness and creaminess that balance the richness of the fried egg and feta.
