Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- 20g feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 avocado, mashed
- A pinch of dried oregano
- A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 small tortilla or slice of toasted bread
- A squeeze of lemon juice
- Pickled onions (optional, for garnish)
- Chili oil (optional, for garnish)
- Olive oil spray, for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Warm the tortilla in a pan or toast the bread. Spread mashed avocado mixed with lemon juice on top.
- Cook the Feta and Egg: Heat a non-stick skillet with olive oil spray. Sprinkle crumbled feta in a ring shape, leaving the center empty. Let it sizzle until golden, then crack the egg in the center. Sprinkle with oregano and red pepper flakes. Cook until the egg reaches your desired doneness.
- Assemble the Dish: Transfer the egg and crispy feta onto the prepared tortilla or toast. Garnish with pickled onions and a drizzle of chili oil, if desired.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use high-quality feta for the best flavor and texture.
- Medium heat prevents the feta from burning while crisping perfectly.
- Customize with additional garnishes like fresh herbs or hot sauce.
