A delicious and simple breakfast featuring crispy melted feta cheese with a perfectly fried egg, served atop a warm tortilla spread with smashed avocado and garnished with tangy pickled onions and chili oil for a flavorful twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg and Cheese

  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ oz / 20g feta cheese
  • Cooking oil spray or olive oil spray
  • Dried oregano, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste

Tortilla and Toppings

  • 1 small tortilla or slice of toasted bread
  • ¼ avocado
  • Lemon juice, a squeeze
  • Pickled onions, for garnish
  • Chili oil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the frying pan: Spray a small fry pan or skillet with cooking oil spray. Crumble the feta cheese evenly around the pan, especially covering the outer edges where it will crisp up.
  2. Sauté the feta: Heat the pan over medium heat, allowing the feta to sizzle and slowly melt. Let it cook for a couple of minutes without burning, forming a crispy golden crust.
  3. Add the egg: Gently crack the egg into the center of the pan atop the melted feta. Season with dried oregano and red pepper flakes. Cook the egg to your preferred doneness—whether with a runny yolk or more set.
  4. Prepare the tortilla: Warm your tortilla using a gas stove, oven, or microwave. Smash the avocado onto the warm tortilla and drizzle with fresh lemon juice for a bright flavor.
  5. Assemble and serve: When the egg is cooked and the feta has developed a golden crust, carefully lift the entire egg and cheese from the pan using a spatula and place it on the avocado-covered tortilla. Garnish with pickled onions and a drizzle of chili oil for an extra kick. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use a nonstick pan or well-seasoned skillet to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
  • Adjust dried oregano and red pepper flakes according to your taste preference for spice and herbiness.
  • You can substitute the tortilla with toasted bread if preferred.
  • For a dairy-free version, replace the feta with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Cooking times will vary depending on how runny you like your egg yolk.
