Main Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Chili Oil

  • 2 tbsp chili oil

Method
 

  1. Heat a nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add olive oil and butter to the pan.
  3. Scatter the crumbled feta evenly into the skillet and cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until the edges become golden and crispy.
  4. Crack the eggs directly over the feta.
  5. Cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain soft and runny.
  6. In a small bowl, gently warm the chili oil with chili flakes and sesame seeds.
  7. Transfer the eggs carefully onto a serving plate.
  8. Spoon the warm chili oil over the eggs.
  9. Finish with black pepper, fresh herbs, and optional toppings.
  10. Serve immediately with toasted bread or warm pita.

Notes

  • Use block feta for the crispiest texture.
  • Medium heat prevents burning the feta.
  • Runny yolks create the best sauce when mixed with the chili oil.
  • Add avocado or roasted peppers for extra Mediterranean flavor.
