Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Feta Fried Eggs
  1. Heat the Olive Oil: Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of high-quality extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to shimmer, indicating it's hot enough for frying, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the Feta: Once the oil is shimmering, evenly sprinkle approximately ½ cup of crumbled feta cheese into the skillet to form a single layer. Let the feta cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, watching for the edges to turn golden brown.
  3. Crack the Eggs: Carefully crack 2 large eggs over the cooked feta, spacing them out to avoid overlap. Allow the eggs to settle in for a moment.
  4. Season the Eggs: Sprinkle the eggs generously with salt and black pepper, enhancing the flavors of the dish.
  5. Cook the Eggs: Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes. Keep an eye on them—the egg whites should set while the yolks remain runny.
  6. Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes over the eggs. Serve immediately.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Separate the feta from the eggs to keep crispy.
