Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 1 large egg the heart of this dish, providing protein and richness.
  • ¾ oz feta cheese impacts a salty, creamy flavor and creates a crispy crust.
  • cooking oil spray or olive oil spray keeps things from sticking while achieving crispy texture.
For Serving
  • 1 small tortilla or slice of toasted bread serves as the perfect base for your crispy feta fried eggs.
  • ¼ avocado adds creaminess to balance the dish's saltiness.
Seasoning & Garnish
  • dried oregano enhances flavor with a fresh, herby lift.
  • red pepper flakes for a spiky kick that can be adjusted based on preference.
  • lemon juice brightens the dish with a splash of acidity.
  • pickled onions adds tangy freshness that elevates the flavors.
  • chili oil for a drizzle of extra flavor.

Equipment

  • Fry pan
  • spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Spray a light coating of cooking oil in a small fry pan. Crumble the feta cheese evenly across the pan.
  2. Place the pan over medium heat and allow the feta to sizzle and soften for about 2 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Gently crack the large egg into the center of the softened feta. Season with dried oregano and red pepper flakes.
  4. Cook the egg for 3-4 minutes depending on desired doneness. For firmer whites, cover with a lid.
  5. While the egg is cooking, warm your tortilla or slice of toasted bread in a separate pan or microwave for about 30 seconds.
  6. Smash the avocado on top of the warmed bread and drizzle with lemon juice.
  7. Lift the cooked egg from the pan and place atop the prepared tortilla with smashed avocado.
  8. Garnish with slices of pickled onions and a drizzle of chili oil. Serve immediately.
