Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Feta cheese Crumble the cheese for frying.
- 2 large Eggs Use fresh eggs for best flavor.
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil For frying the feta.
- to taste Salt Add according to preference.
- to taste Pepper Freshly cracked works best.

Instructions
Preparation
- Heat a generous swirl of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Crumble the feta cheese directly into the pan, letting it sizzle until it turns golden and crispy—this usually takes about 5 minutes.
- Gently crack the eggs over the crispy cheese, being careful not to break the yolks.
- Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper on top for flavor.
- Cook the eggs until they are done to your liking—some prefer a runny yolk, while others like a firmer center.
- Serve warm with slices of crusty bread or a colorful mix of fresh vegetables on the side.
Notes
Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Ensure leftovers are in an airtight container. For freezing, separate the feta from the eggs to maintain texture.
