Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Wait until the oil shimmers and warms up, which takes about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Once the oil is hot, sprinkle approximately ½ cup of crumbled feta cheese evenly into the skillet. Allow the feta to melt slightly and start to golden, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Carefully crack 2-4 large eggs over the crispy feta, ensuring space between each egg.
  4. Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the eggs to enhance their flavor.
  5. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes until the egg whites are set and the yolks remain runny.
  6. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
  7. Gently slide the eggs and crispy feta onto a plate and serve immediately.
