Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 1 large Egg Provides structure and protein for the dish; substitute with a medium egg for smaller portions.
  • 0.75 oz Feta Cheese Adds creaminess and salty flavor, creating a crispy crust when sautéed; alternative cheeses include goat cheese or Parmigiano Reggiano.
  • Cooking Oil Spray or Olive Oil Spray Prevents sticking and promotes even cooking; coconut oil can be a suitable alternative.
For the Base
  • 1 small Tortilla or Slice of Toasted Bread Serves as the base for the eggs and feta; gluten-free bread or lettuce wraps can be used for a gluten-free option.
  • 1/4 Avocado Adds creaminess and healthy fats; substitute with guacamole for a spicier kick.
For Seasoning
  • Dried Oregano Enhances the overall flavor profile; fresh oregano can be used for a stronger flavor.
  • Red Pepper Flakes Adds heat and spice; adjust quantity according to taste or omit for a milder flavor.
For Acidity and Garnish
  • Lemon Juice Provides acidity to balance the dish; lime juice can be used as a substitute.
  • Pickled Onions and Chili Oil Adds a tangy freshness and spice; any pickled vegetables could serve as a substitute.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Spray a small skillet with cooking oil or olive oil and crumble the feta cheese evenly across the bottom. Place the skillet over medium heat and allow the cheese to cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until it starts to sizzle.
  2. Carefully crack a large egg right in the center of the sizzling feta. Cook the egg for 3 to 5 minutes, keeping an eye on the edges.
  3. As the egg cooks, sprinkle a dash of dried oregano and a pinch of red pepper flakes over the top. Continue cooking until the egg reaches your desired doneness.
  4. While the egg is finishing, warm your small tortilla or slice of bread in another pan or microwave for about 1 minute.
  5. In a small bowl, smash the avocado with a fork until creamy and add lemon juice. Spread this mixture generously over your warm tortilla.
  6. Once the egg is cooked and the feta has formed a beautiful crust, gently transfer the egg and feta onto the prepared tortilla.
  7. Top your Crispy Feta Fried Eggs with a handful of pickled onions for tang and a drizzle of chili oil for a kick. Serve immediately.
