Fried Eggs with Feta

Fried eggs in hot olive oil with a crisp edge, sprinkled with crumbled feta and plenty of pepper.

Ingredients · for 2 servings

• 4 eggs
• 120 g feta
• 5 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 pinch chili flakes
• 1 spring onion
• Salt, pepper

Instructions

1. Take the eggs out of the fridge 15 min. before frying and crack each into a small bowl, so they can later slide into the pan at the same time.
2. Coarsely crumble the feta and cut the spring onion into fine rings.
3. Heat the olive oil in a small pan, until it shimmers lightly – a drop of egg white must sizzle immediately.
4. Slide the eggs in and fry over medium heat 2–3 min., repeatedly spooning hot oil over the white, until the edge turns brown and lacy-crisp.
5. Scatter the feta around the yolk and leave in the pan another 30 sec., until it softens at the edges while the yolk stays runny.
6. Sprinkle with oregano, chili flakes, spring onion and plenty of pepper and serve immediately with bread.
