Feta Fried Eggs Avocado Tortilla (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 large egg
02 -
40 grams full-fat feta cheese, crumbled
03 -
1 small flour or corn tortilla
04 -
0.5 avocado, ripe
→ Seasonings and Garnish
05 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
06 -
Crushed red pepper flakes, optional, to taste
07 -
1 lime wedge
08 -
1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot.
02 -
Evenly scatter the crumbled feta cheese around the edges of the skillet, leaving a clear space in the center. Cook the feta until it begins to melt and lightly bubbles, about 1–2 minutes.
03 -
Crack the large egg into the center of the pan. Season with black pepper and add red pepper flakes if desired.
04 -
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until the egg white is set, yolk remains runny, and feta is crispy and golden, approximately 3–4 minutes.
05 -
While the egg cooks, warm the tortilla in a dry skillet, over a gas flame, or in the oven until pliable. Mash the avocado and spread it evenly over the tortilla. Squeeze the lime wedge over the avocado.
06 -
Carefully transfer the feta-crusted fried egg onto the prepared avocado tortilla. Garnish with finely chopped fresh chives and serve immediately.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
For best results, use a fresh block of feta packed in brine and a quality nonstick skillet to ensure easy release of the egg and cheese.
02 -
Customize the dish with additional toppings like pickled onions, chili oil, diced tomatoes, or fresh herbs.
03 -
Monitor the skillet temperature closely to prevent the feta from burning; adjust heat as necessary.
