Ingredients

Feta Fried Egg

1 egg
¼ cup feta cheese crumbled, 35g
2 teaspoon olive oil for frying

Tortilla and Toppings

Instructions

Feta Fried Egg Instructions

Heat olive oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat. Crumble the feta into the pan in a circle, leaving space in the middle for the egg.
Crack the egg into the feta circle. Continue to cook on a low to medium heat until the egg white is fully cooked, the yolk is still soft and the feta has melted into a golden crispy crust. This takes 3-4 minutes.
Remove the feta egg from the pan with a large spatula and serve straight away.

Serving Suggestion

Spread a coconut flour tortilla with cream cheese.
Top with sliced avocado and a handful of lettuce leaves.
Place the feta fried egg on top and sprinkle with chopped chives and nigella seeds. Season the egg yolk with a pinch of sea salt (feta is a salty cheese). Serve immediately.
