Description
Quick and savory fried eggs topped with melted feta cheese, often served on a tortilla with avocado and a squeeze of lime—perfect for a fast, flavorful meal any time of day.
Ingredients
1 large egg
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
Pinch of ground black pepper (optional)
Pinch of crushed red chili flakes (optional)
Tortillas (for serving)
Smashed or sliced avocado (for serving)
Lime juice (freshly squeezed, for serving)
Instructions
- Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot.
- Scatter the crumbled feta cheese around the edge of the skillet, leaving the center open. Let it melt slightly for a few seconds.
- Crack the egg into the center of the skillet. Season with black pepper and chili flakes if using.
- Cook for 1–2 minutes until the egg white begins to turn opaque, then cover the skillet with a lid.
- Continue cooking for another 1–2 minutes, until the whites are fully set and lightly cover the yolk.
- Uncover and let any excess moisture cook off for about 30 seconds.
- Transfer the egg to a tortilla, top with smashed avocado, and finish with fresh lime juice. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a nonstick skillet to prevent sticking and help feta melt evenly.
- Freshly cracked black pepper and red chili flakes enhance flavor without overpowering.
- Best served immediately for optimal texture and taste.
- Customize with herbs or additional toppings like hot sauce or pickled onions.
