Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil: Pour the olive oil into a non-stick skillet and warm it over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Cook the feta: Add the crumbled feta cheese to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese starts to melt and becomes golden brown and crispy.
- Add the eggs: Gently crack the eggs directly onto the layer of crispy feta in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the eggs: Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 3-5 minutes for runny, jammy yolks, or cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks, until the whites are fully set and the edges are slightly crisp.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh herbs over the top if desired, then serve the crispy feta fried eggs immediately on toasted bread or as you like.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and achieve even cooking.
- Adjust cooking time based on your preferred egg yolk consistency.
- Fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or chives add a bright flavor and pleasant color contrast.
- Serve with toasted bread to soak up the flavorful feta and runny yolks.
