Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil, swirling until shimmering for about 1 minute.
  2. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly across the bottom of the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until edges are browned.
  3. Crack eggs directly over the sizzling feta, leaving space between them for even cooking.
  4. Season the eggs with salt and black pepper, ensuring not to over-salt due to the feta.
  5. Cook the eggs, watching closely, for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set and yolks remain runny.
  6. For firmer yolks, cook for an additional minute, and cover the skillet if necessary.
  7. Optionally garnish with parsley or red pepper flakes before serving.
  8. Gently slide the eggs onto a serving plate and enjoy immediately.
