Feta Fried Eggs (cooked directly over feta cheese)

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

1. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Evenly spread the crumbled feta cheese directly onto the skillet.
3. Crack the eggs over the feta cheese, allowing them to settle naturally.
4. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
5. 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.
6. Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute.
7. Carefully slide the eggs with the feta onto a plate.
8. 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.
