I topped my feta eggs with red Pickled Onions which gave them the perfect tangy freshness!

Ingredients to make Crispy Feta Fried Eggs

• Feta Cheese…well you of course need feta to make feta fried eggs 🙂 I find it's always best to use a block of feta cheese rather than already crumbled feta.
  You can also use dairy free feta or even goat cheese would also be an amazing substitute. I would however recommend to add salt if you are using goats cheese
• Large eggs, I always prefer to use organic free range eggs. They do cost a little more, but they are much nicer in taste
• Dried oregano is a match made in heaven with feta cheese! You can use other herbs such as parsley, basil or dill
• Red pepper flakes are added for a little spice but its totally optional
• Tortilla, a small tortilla or slice of toasted bread is the base of the feta fried eggs. Choose your preferred bread or you can even enjoy it on its own
• Avocado is smashed over the tortilla or toast and is the perfect combination with a squeeze of lemon juice or lime juice. The acidity works so well with the salty eggs and feta. You can of course add other vegetables such as baby spinach, mushrooms or tomatoes as the base
• Garnish with pickled onions which are super easy to make and provide a yummy fresh tang! I've also added a drizzle of chilli oil or hot sauce but this is totally optional. You can also garnish with fresh herbs such as chives or green onions

5. Smash avocado on top of the tortilla with a squeeze of lemon juice
6. When the egg is cooked, place on the tortilla and garnish withpickled onions, a drizzle of chili oil and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

1. Good quality feta cheese will make this dish even better!
2. Ensure to use a non stick pan as the feta cheese will stick to a stainless steel pan
3. Saute the feta cheese over medium heat and keep your eye on it. You don't want it to burn over a high heat
4. Remove the cookedfeta eggs off the pan straight away as the cheese will start to crispen up as it cools down
5. You can add a lid to the pan if you prefer the eggs cooked to a medium or hard texture

Storage and Reheating

• Crispy feta eggs will taste the best if they are eaten straight away. Also the longer it will cool down, the crispy crust will slowly soften up
• You can however store any leftovers in an airtightcontainer in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Enjoy cold or reheat in a pan or the microwave for a few minutes. The texture however won't be the same and the egg can overcook
• I wouldn't recommend freezing the feta eggs
