  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Egg and Feta

  • 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 Pan: Heat a small frying pan or skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking oil. Crumble the feta cheese evenly across the pan, including around the edges to form a ring. This will allow the cheese to melt and create a crispy crust.
  2. Cook the Feta and Egg: Let the feta sizzle and melt for a couple of minutes without burning. Carefully crack the egg into the center of the pan over the melted feta. Season with dried oregano and red pepper flakes. Cook the egg to your preferred doneness, whether runny yolk or more set.
  3. Warm the Tortilla: While the egg cooks, warm the tortilla on a gas stove flame, in the oven, or microwave until pliable and warm.
  4. Prepare the Tortilla Base: Smash the avocado and spread it evenly onto the warmed tortilla. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the avocado for brightness.
  5. Assemble the Dish: When the egg is cooked and the feta has formed a golden-brown crust, carefully lift the entire cheese-egg mixture out of the pan using a spatula. Place it gently onto the prepared tortilla.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Top the assembled tortilla with pickled onions and drizzle with chili oil for extra heat and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy feta fried eggs!

Notes

  • Use a non-stick skillet for best results to prevent the feta and egg from sticking.
  • You can substitute the tortilla with toasted bread if preferred.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your heat preference.
  • Pickled onions and chili oil add layers of flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Ensure the feta doesn’t burn by controlling the heat to medium-low if needed.
