Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 1 large Egg Provides protein and richness;
  • ¾ oz Feta Cheese Adds saltiness and creates a crispy crust when fried;
  • Cooking Oil Spray or Olive Oil Prevents sticking and helps achieve a perfect golden-brown crust;
For the Base
  • 1 small Tortilla or Slice of Toasted Bread Serves as a lovely platform for the eggs;
  • ¼ Avocado Adds creaminess that balances the salty feta;
For the Flavor
  • Dried Oregano Imparts a savory, herbaceous flavor;
  • Red Pepper Flakes Provides heat and a bit of kick;
  • Lemon Juice Adds acidity and brightness; freshly squeezed is best;
For the Garnish
  • Pickled Onions and Chili Oil Add tang and an extra flavor dimension;

Equipment

  • Fry pan or skillet

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat a small fry pan or skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Spray the surface with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Crumble the feta cheese into the pan, spreading it evenly. Let it sauté for 2-3 minutes until golden-brown.
  3. Carefully crack an egg in the center of the melted feta. Cook uncovered for about 4 minutes until egg white is set but yolk remains runny.
  4. Sprinkle dried oregano and red pepper flakes over the cooking egg to infuse flavor.
  5. Warm a tortilla or slice of toast in another pan. Smash the avocado onto the base and add a squeeze of lemon juice.
  6. Carefully lift the egg and feta with a spatula and place it atop the prepared tortilla or toast.
  7. Garnish with pickled onions and a drizzle of chili oil. Serve immediately while warm.
