Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese across the skillet, ensuring it covers the bottom.
- Cook the feta for 1-2 minutes until it starts to soften and the edges crisp up.
- Carefully crack the eggs on top of the feta, making sure to space them apart.
- Season the eggs generously with salt and black pepper.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. For firmer yolks, cook a bit longer to suit your preference.

- Gently slide the eggs and crispy feta onto a plate.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
