Scale
Core Ingredients
- 2 fresh eggs
- 100g plant-based feta cheese, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon natural garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Herbs and Garnishes
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chives, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Cut the plant-based feta cheese into cubes or small chunks. Gather fresh eggs, herbs, and seasonings to streamline the cooking process.
- Heat the Pan and Olive Oil: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in olive oil and allow it to warm up evenly to ensure a crisp cook without sticking or sogginess.
- Fry the Feta Until Golden: Add the feta pieces carefully to the pan, frying each side for 2 to 3 minutes until a golden crust forms. This crispy exterior locks in the tangy flavor.
- Add the Eggs: Crack the eggs directly into the skillet alongside the feta, maintaining moderate heat. Let the egg whites set undisturbed to develop crispy edges while keeping the yolks luscious.
- Season and Garnish: Sprinkle natural garlic powder, salt, and black pepper on the eggs and feta while cooking. Just before serving, add fresh herbs to enhance color and fragrance.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and achieve crispiness.
- Maintain medium heat to avoid burning the feta or overcooking the eggs.
- Use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary to ensure proper crisping.
- Add herbs last to preserve their fresh flavor and avoid wilting.
