Description

A quick and flavorful breakfast combining salty, crunchy feta with tender fried egg yolks, perfect for busy mornings or simple brunches.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 eggs
  • 100g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or dill) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
  2. Crumble feta cheese into the pan and spread it evenly; let it heat until it crisps and turns golden.
  3. Carefully crack the eggs over the crispy feta and cook until whites are set and yolks are runny, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Season lightly with salt and black pepper, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve immediately.

Notes

Serve on thick toasted bread for a breakfast sandwich or over warm grains for a hearty bowl. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days, but note that the feta will lose some crispiness.
