INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED FOR THE CRISPY FETA FRIED EGGS

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the 5-minute feta eggs (the exact measurements, full instructions and full recipe are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post):

• High quality feta cheese – full-fat feta cheese works best in this recipe
• Eggs – can use egg whites, however then you will not have the runny yolk which is key in this simple breakfast idea.
• Black pepper
• Red pepper flakes
• Avocado
• Lime juice
• Flour tortillas – can also serve over toast or hash browns 
• Olive oil spray for frying – can also use avocado oil spray
• Optional – hot sauce, fresh herbs, cherry tomatoes, bagel seasoning, or pesto for the viral pesto eggs version.

HOW TO MAKE

1. Spray a small nonstick skillet with non-stick cooking spray over medium heat. Crumble the feta cheese in a circle.
2. Allow the feta cheese to cook for a minute or two so it melts. Then crack the egg in the centre of the pan.
3. Season the egg with black pepper and red pepper flakes. Cover pan and cook the egg to your liking, but it’s best when there is still a runny egg yolk.
4. Heat the tortilla on a gas flame until it becomes a charred tortilla. Alternatively you can use the microwave.
5. Add the mashed avocado and lime juice to the tortilla shell. Once the egg is cooked through and it becomes crispy, place on the tortilla. Enjoy your cheesy crust breakfast taco.

WHAT TYPE OF FETA CHEESE IS BEST TO USE?

Choose a high-quality block of feta cheese that is relatively firm. This helps maintain its shape during frying and prevents it from becoming too soft or runny.

Alternatively you can also use goat cheese, or another hard cheese like halloumi. You will want to add salt if you choose another type of cheese.

CAN I CUSTOMIZE THE SEASONINGS?

Absolutely! Feel free to adjust the seasonings according to your preferences. Common seasonings include paprika, black pepper, and herbs like thyme or oregano.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO COOK YOUR EGGS FOR THIS DELICIOUS BREAKFAST?

Use fresh eggs with a runny yolk for the best results. When the yolk combines with the crispy fried feta, it creates a delicious and indulgent experience.

HOW DO I PREVENT THE FETA CHEESE FROM STICKING TO THE PAN?

Make sure the pan is properly heated and coated with a thin layer of oil before adding the coated feta slices. This helps create a crispy crust and prevents sticking.

You also want to ensure you are using a high quality pan. The best pans are Always Pans from Our Place.

HOW DO I STORE THE LEFTOVER CRISPY FETA EGGS?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to maintain the desired texture.
