  • 2 teaspoon olive oil for frying
Tortilla and Toppings

Instructions

Feta Fried Egg Instructions
    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Remove the feta egg from the pan with a large spatula and serve straight away.
Serving Suggestion
  1. Spread a coconut flour tortilla with cream cheese.
  2. Top with sliced avocado and a handful of lettuce leaves.
  3. 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.
