Ingredients
  

For the Eggs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta adjust to your liking
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 large egg
  • to taste salt and pepper
For Serving
  • 1 piece toast your choice

Equipment

  • Small frying pan

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small frying pan.
  2. 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).
  3. Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the feta.
  4. Cook until you see and hear the feta sizzling, and starting to melt. This will take a couple of minutes.
  5. Place the egg over the feta, being careful to place the yolk in the centre of the pan.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. 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.
  8. Place over toast or enjoy as is!
