Feta Fried Eggs

There’s something magical about the simplicity of cooking eggs, and my Feta Fried Eggs recipe is a celebration of that magic. I can’t tell you how many mornings have started with the delightful aroma of melting feta cheese filling my kitchen. It was one of those lazy weekends when I decided to experiment with my breakfast routine. I had some crumbled feta left in the fridge and thought, why not pair it with eggs? The result was nothing short of amazing! The creamy, tangy feta perfectly complements the rich yolk of the egg, making each bite a little piece of heaven. Whether it’s for a quick weekday breakfast or a leisurely brunch, this dish has become a staple in my home.

Recipe Ingredients for Feta Fried Eggs

When it comes to the ingredients for Feta Fried Eggs, each one plays a crucial role in creating the perfect dish. The combination of creamy feta cheese and fresh eggs creates a delightful texture and flavor profile that will elevate your breakfast game. Let’s take a closer look at these key players:

• Feta cheese: This tangy cheese is the star of the show. Its creamy texture melts beautifully, adding richness to the eggs.
• One egg: The foundation of this dish, an egg provides protein and a luscious yolk that brings everything together.
• Everything bagel seasoning: A blend of flavors that enhances the dish with its savory notes, making each bite irresistible.
• Chopped fresh parsley: This adds a burst of freshness and color, balancing the richness of the cheese and egg.
• One flour tortilla: Warmed to perfection, it serves as the ideal base to serve your Feta Fried Eggs, adding a soft texture to every bite.

Making This Feta Fried Eggs

Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s dive into the cooking process. Making Feta Fried Eggs is as enjoyable as it is easy. Follow these steps to create a breakfast masterpiece!

1. Preheat your skillet: Start by heating a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Wait until it’s hot enough for cooking, which typically takes about one to two minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when a drop of water dances and evaporates almost instantly.
2. Add the feta cheese: Place a ring of crumbled feta cheese in the center of the skillet. The ring does not have to be perfect; use as much as you prefer. Just ensure the center isn’t too large so that the egg can fit snugly in the middle.
3. Crack the egg: Carefully crack a one egg into the center of the feta cheese ring. Take your time, as you want the yolk to stay intact for that beautiful presentation.
4. Season: Generously sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the egg. This blend adds a wonderful umami flavor that elevates the dish. Be cautious with salt, as the feta already brings a salty taste.
5. Cover and cook: Place a lid on the skillet and let it cook for two to three minutes. This will help the cheese get a lovely golden brown while the egg cooks to your desired doneness. You can peek under the lid to check for the perfect level of doneness.
6. Serve: Once the egg is cooked and the cheese is browned, slide the feta fried egg onto a warm flour tortilla, or serve it over hash browns for a heartier option. Don’t forget to garnish with chopped fresh parsley for that fresh, vibrant finish.
