Ingredients
Eggs and Cheese
- 4 large fresh eggs
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Cooking Essentials
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional
- Chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill), for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, indicating it is hot enough for cooking.
- Crack the Eggs: Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet, making sure to keep the yolks intact for a runny center.
- Add Feta Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese around the edges of the eggs in the skillet.
- Season: Season the eggs and feta with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Cook the Eggs: Allow the eggs to cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny for the best texture.
- Add Herbs and Serve: If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh herbs over the eggs just before serving to add freshness and aroma.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider squeezing a splash of lemon juice over the eggs just before serving.
- Substitute feta with goat cheese for a creamier twist or add chili flakes for some heat.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days; reheat gently on low heat to avoid overcooking the yolks.
