Description
Start your day with these crispy feta fried eggs, featuring perfectly cooked eggs topped with golden, crunchy feta cheese. A deliciously simple and satisfying breakfast option!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (such as parsley or chives, optional)
Instructions
- Heat the Oil:
In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. - Add the Feta:
Once the oil is hot, add the crumbled feta cheese to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the feta is golden and crispy, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. - Fry the Eggs:
Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet over the crispy feta. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs to your desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes for runny yolks or longer for firmer yolks. - Serve:
Once the eggs are cooked, carefully transfer them to a plate, ensuring some of the crispy feta stays with each egg. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- Cheese Variations: You can substitute feta with goat cheese or cotija for a different flavor.
- Cooking Tips: For easier flipping or to avoid breaking the yolks, you can cover the skillet with a lid while cooking the eggs.
