Ingredients
Scale
2 large eggs (fresh, room temperature recommended)
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1–2 tablespoons olive oil, or a small knob of butter for frying
1 small garlic clove, minced
Cherry tomatoes, 6-8, optional
Spinach, 1 cup, optional
Pinch of crushed red pepper or chili flakes, optional
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or chives), 1 tablespoon chopped, optional
Instructions
Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter. Let it shimmer or melt until it coats the pan with a light shine, about 1 minute.
Crumble the feta into the pan in an even layer. Let it sizzle, stirring gently at the edges until small crispy bits form and the cheese starts to turn golden, about 2–3 minutes.
If using garlic, add it now and sauté for about 15–20 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Crack the eggs into the center of the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Spoon some hot oil over the whites to help them set evenly while keeping the yolks bright and runny, about 2–4 minutes depending on yolk preference.
Scatter the tomatoes or spinach around the eggs if using. Continue cooking until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain glossy and slightly jiggly for a runny finish, or cook 1–2 minutes longer for a firmer yolk.
Season with pepper (and a light pinch of salt if needed). Finish with fresh herbs and a final drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve immediately with crusty bread or a green salad on the side.
Tip: If you like extra crisp edges, give the feta a quick flip at the halfway point, then slide the eggs to the side and fry the others in the same pan until you reach your desired yolk consistency.
Notes
A quick skillet breakfast featuring feta cheese crispy-edged in olive oil, eggs with bright runny yolks, and optional tomatoes or greens, finished with fresh herbs for a savory morning treat.
