Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Feta Fried Eggs
  1. In a non-stick skillet, pour a generous amount of olive oil and place it over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers, which usually takes about 2 minutes.
  2. Once the oil is hot, evenly sprinkle crumbled feta cheese across the skillet to form a single layer. Let it cook for 1–2 minutes without stirring, until the feta turns golden brown.
  3. Carefully crack the large eggs over the crispy feta, spacing them out. Let the eggs sit undisturbed to allow the whites to begin setting.
  4. Sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Let the eggs cook without stirring for about 3–4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft.
  6. If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes over the top. Serve immediately.
