5-minute feta fried eggs: you’ll thank me next time you’re hangry 🍳
This barely needs a recipe but here goes:
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crumble in feta (~1.5 oz or 1/3 cup) around perimeter
Immediately crack an egg into the center and season with black pepper and red pepper flakes (no need to add salt, the feta is plenty salty)
Cover pan and cook, reducing heat if necessary, until white is set, yolk is still runny, and cheese is unbelievably crispy.
Serve atop toast, with hash browns, or my personal favorite: in a charred tortilla with avocado and lime.
Heavily inspired by @itsalislagle potato, egg, and cheese tacos, another weeknight staple 🧀
P.S.: this works with practically any hard cheese (think Parmesan frico!) and probably other crumbly ones, too
You can oil the skillet, esp. if you’re not using nonstick, but I find the cheese gets crispier w/o

What’s the trick to getting the feta to be crispy and the yolk still to be drippy?
I've made eggs with feta for years, but the crispy feta here is an absolute game changer. I've been doing this since you posted this recipe originally... Variations of course. So freaking good.
What an incredible idea/dish. Definitely doing this later this week. Thank you!🙏🏽
