Instructions

  1. 1 large egg
  2. ¾ oz (about 20 g) feta cheese, crumbled
  3. 1 small tortilla or slice of toasted bread
  4. ¼ ripe avocado

Notes

  • Heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil.
  • Crumble the feta cheese into the pan, forming a loose circle slightly larger than the egg.
  • Let the feta cook for 1–2 minutes until it begins to melt and turn golden underneath.
  • Gently crack the egg into the center of the melted feta.
  • Season with dried oregano and red pepper flakes.
  • Cook until the egg whites are set and the yolk reaches your desired doneness. Cover briefly with a lid if needed.
  • Warm the tortilla or toast the bread. Mash the avocado on top and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Carefully remove the egg with a spatula and place it on the prepared base.
  • Garnish as desired and serve immediately.
