Ingredients
Scale
Egg and Cheese
- 1 Free Range Egg
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Crumbled Feta Cheese
Tortilla and Toppings
- 1 Flour Tortilla
- 1/2 Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Lime Juice
Seasonings
- Dried Oregano, to taste
- Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, to taste
- Salt, to taste (optional and very light)
- Ground Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat the pan: Heat a small frying pan over medium heat and brush it with 1 teaspoon of olive oil to prevent sticking and help crisp the feta.
- Cook the feta: Add 2 tablespoons of crumbled feta cheese in a circle around the pan. Let it cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it starts sizzling and turns golden brown and crispy.
- Add the egg and season: Gently crack 1 free-range egg into the center of the pan inside the feta ring. Season with dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt (lightly or optional), and ground black pepper according to taste.
- Cook the egg and feta: Continue cooking until the feta ring is golden and crispy, and the egg is cooked to your preference, whether that’s medium or with a runny yolk.
- Warm the tortilla: While the egg cooks, warm the flour tortilla on a gas stove or in a pan until it’s soft and pliable.
- Prepare avocado topping: Slice or smash 1/2 an avocado and drizzle it with 1 teaspoon of lime juice to add freshness and a bit of tang.
- Assemble and serve: Place the warm tortilla on a plate, spread the avocado topping evenly, then carefully place the crispy feta and fried egg on top. Enjoy immediately for the best taste.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality free-range eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust seasoning levels to taste, especially if you prefer less salt.
- The feta crisps best in a non-stick or well-seasoned skillet.
- You can substitute the flour tortilla with a gluten-free option if needed.
- For extra heat, increase the crushed red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.
