Feta Fried Eggs
Crispy Feta Fried Egg
This crispy feta fried egg is a simple breakfast that feels surprisingly rich and satisfying. As the feta cooks, it melts into a golden, crunchy layer around the egg, creating a perfect mix of salty cheese and creamy yolk. With only two ingredients, it’s an easy high-protein meal that comes together in minutes.
Serve it fresh from the skillet while the cheese is still crisp. It pairs well with greens, sliced avocado, tomatoes, toast, or warm pita bread for a more filling breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Crumbled feta cheese | 1/3 cup |
| Large egg | 1 |
Instructions
1. Heat the skillet
Place a small nonstick or well-seasoned skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm for about 1–2 minutes.
2. Add the feta
Scatter the feta into the pan in a loose circle, leaving a small opening in the center for the egg.
Cook without stirring for 2–3 minutes until the cheese begins melting and the edges turn golden and crispy.
3. Cook the egg
Crack the egg into the center of the feta ring. If needed, gently tilt the pan to help keep the egg white in place.
Continue cooking for another 3–4 minutes, until the egg white is set and the yolk remains soft and runny.
4. Serve immediately
Carefully loosen the feta and egg with a spatula and transfer to a plate. Enjoy while the cheese is hot and crunchy.
This quick breakfast is savory, creamy, and packed with flavor while using almost no prep time at all.
