This delightful dish elevates the simple fried egg into something extraordinary by cooking it over a bed of creamy, salty feta cheese. Perfect for a special breakfast or a quick brunch.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Evenly spread the crumbled feta cheese directly onto the skillet.
- Crack the eggs over the feta cheese, allowing them to settle naturally.
- Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference.
- Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute.
- Carefully slide the eggs with the feta onto a plate.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if using, and serve immediately.
Notes
This dish is perfect with a slice of rustic bread or a fresh salad. Adjust the salt to taste, as the feta is already quite salty.
