Introduction

This Crispy Feta and Fried Egg Tortilla is a quick and flavorful breakfast or light meal that combines creamy avocado, tangy feta, and a perfectly cooked egg. It’s easy to make and packs a delightful balance of textures and spices to start your day right.

A white plate holds a single flatbread layered with green leafy lettuce at the bottom, followed by a golden-brown crispy crusted round layer topped with melted white cheese. On top of the cheese is a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg with a bright yellow yolk, sprinkled with red chili flakes and dried herbs. The plate is set on a white marbled textured surface with a light striped beige cloth underneath. Surrounding the plate are two halves of an avocado with light green interiors and brown seeds, a small white bowl filled with crumbled white cheese, a bunch of ripe red tomatoes on the vine, and a box of free-range eggs in blue and green packaging.

Ingredients

1 Free Range Egg
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Crumbled Feta Cheese
1 Flour Tortilla
1/2 Avocado
Dried Oregano, to taste
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, to taste
1 teaspoon Lime Juice
Salt, to taste
Ground Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Heat a small frying pan over medium heat and brush it with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Step 2: Add 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese in a circle around the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the feta sizzles and starts to turn golden and crispy.
Step 3: Gently crack the egg in the middle of the pan inside the feta circle. Season with dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt (lightly or optional), and ground black pepper to your liking.
Step 4: Cook the egg until the feta is golden brown and the egg white is set, leaving the yolk medium or runny, depending on your preference.
Step 5: Warm the flour tortilla over a gas stove or in a separate pan.
Step 6: Slice or mash the avocado and drizzle it with 1 teaspoon of lime juice. Spread the avocado on the warm tortilla.
Step 7: Carefully transfer the fried egg with crispy feta onto the topped tortilla and enjoy immediately.

Tips & Variations

Use a non-stick pan to prevent the feta and egg from sticking and to make flipping or transferring easier.
For extra flavor, add fresh herbs like chopped parsley or cilantro on top before serving.
Substitute the flour tortilla with a whole wheat or corn tortilla for a different texture and flavor.
If you prefer a fully cooked yolk, cover the pan with a lid during cooking to steam the egg through.

Storage

This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftover fried eggs and avocado separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat the egg gently in a pan over low heat to avoid rubberiness. Avocado is best added fresh to avoid browning.
