Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 large egg
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 piece of toast, your choice

Instructions

  • Heat your olive oil over medium heat in a small frying pan.
    1 tbsp olive oil
  • Scatter the crumbled feta in a circle around the edge of the pan, leaving the center empty (large enough to fit the yolk of the egg).
    1/3 cup crumbled feta
  • Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the feta.
    1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Cook until you see and hear the feta sizzling, and starting to melt. This will take a couple of minutes
  • Place the egg over the feta, being careful to place the yolk in the centre of the pan.
    1 large egg
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    salt and pepper
  • Cook until the egg is to your liking. After a minute or two you can add a lid to the frying pan to more easily cook the yolk. You can also flip the egg and feta, but this can get a little messy.
  • Place over toast or enjoy as is!
    1 piece of toast, your choice

Notes

The crumbled feta is an estimate.  You can add more or less to your liking.
