Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Cooking and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat to prepare the pan for cooking the feta and eggs.
- Cook the feta: Add the crumbled feta cheese to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes until it begins to melt and develop a crispy texture on the edges.
- Add the eggs: Gently crack the eggs over the crisping feta cheese, making sure to space them evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the eggs: Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 3-5 minutes if you prefer jammy yolks, or cook longer to reach your desired yolk firmness.
- Garnish and serve: Once cooked, garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately, preferably atop toasted bread or as you like.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Adjust cooking time based on your preferred egg yolk consistency.
- Fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or dill complement the feta’s flavor beautifully.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- For a low-fat option, reduce the olive oil to 1 tablespoon or use a cooking spray.
