Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a generous amount of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Once the oil is hot, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly across the skillet, letting it soften slightly in the oil for about 1 minute.
  3. Continue cooking the feta for 1-2 minutes until the edges are golden and crunchy while retaining creaminess in the center.
  4. Crack the eggs directly over the cooked feta, spacing them well apart for even cooking of whites and yolks.
  5. Sprinkle a dash of salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors.
  6. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes. Cook longer for firmer yolks if desired.
  7. Optionally, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes on top before serving.
  8. Carefully slide the crispy feta and fried eggs onto a plate and serve immediately.
