Equipment

  • Nonstick skillet
  • Spatula
  • Lid for skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • Pinch of black pepper optional
  • Pinch of crushed red chili flakes optional
  • Optional toppings: tortilla, avocado, lime juice

Instructions
 

  • Place a nonstick skillet on medium heat and allow it to warm up.
  • Scatter the feta cheese in a ring around the outer edge of the pan, keeping the center open.
  • After the cheese starts to sizzle and soften, crack the egg into the center of the skillet.
  • Add black pepper and red chili flakes if you'd like a little extra flavor.
  • Let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the whites begin to firm up.
  • Cover the pan with a lid and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until the whites are fully cooked and just covering the yolk.
  • Remove the lid and allow any leftover steam to dissipate for about 30 seconds.
  • Serve hot—enjoy it as is, or layer it onto a warm tortilla with smashed avocado and a squeeze of lime.

Notes

Storage & Reheating
  • Best served fresh.
  • Can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet to retain texture.
Serving Suggestions
  • Top a tortilla with the egg and smashed avocado for a breakfast wrap.
  • Add a splash of lime juice or serve alongside a crisp green salad or roasted veggies.
Drink Pairing
  • Iced coffee or fresh orange juice pairs well.
Ingredient Swaps
  • Try goat cheese or Parmesan instead of feta for a twist.
  • Swap tortillas for sourdough or whole-grain bread.
  • Add herbs like parsley or dill for added freshness.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
  • Don’t overcook. Feta can burn quickly and eggs become rubbery.
  • Use a lid. It ensures your egg whites cook through evenly.
  • Avoid high heat. Stick with medium heat for the best result.
