Fried Eggs (3 ways!), Feta Style

Welcome to my feta fried egg obsession.

Since first seeing the viral recipe, I’ve made it a bunch of ways. Instead of posting 3 individual recipes over the next few weeks, I decided to make my top 3 favorites and pile them into one post.

Instead of doing step-by-step instructions for all three, I shot the photos only for the sun-dried tomato pesto feta fried eggs because the steps are pretty similar for each. Although, I did include separate printable recipe cards for all three at the bottom of the post.

On a separate and unrelated note, check out the newest cutting board that Pat made me. 😍

To Make Feta Fried Eggs Gather:

  • nonstick spray – This will help to keep everything from sticking but isn’t foolproof.
  • pesto or chili crunch – Use sun-dried tomato, basil or cilantro pesto or chili crisp.
  • egg – Vital farms is my go-to brand (not sponsored).
  • tortillas – Use your go-to!
  • herbs or green onion – Like basil, cilantro, dill or green onions and chives.
  • salt and pepper – You only need a little salt as feta can be salty on its own.
  • hot honey – This is optional but satisfying on the sun-dried tomato and basil pesto versions.
  • additional toppings – Like avocado, pickled red onion, jalapeños etc.

Spray a medium skillet with nonstick spray (like ghee oil, avocado or olive oil) and heat over medium. Once the pan is heated, add 1 to 2 tablespoons pesto in the center and spread it evenly and sprinkle 1-1/2 ounces of crumbled feta cheese around the parameter of the pesto.

Cook (uncovered) for a few minutes until the feta simply begins to melt.

Next crack in 1 large egg.

Cover and cook until the whites are set. Remove the feta fried egg from the pan to a nearby plate and quickly toast a tortilla on both sides.

Transfer the feta fried egg to the tortilla, season the egg with a little salt and pepper (because the feta can be salty, go straightforward on the salt) and top with dill or herbs of your choice.

Printable Recipe is at the end of the post.

Basil Pesto Version:

Follow the same steps as in the above step-by-step but use: nonstick spray for the pan, 1 to 2 tablespoons basil pesto, 1-1/2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese, 1 large egg, salt and pepper. Once you’ve toasted a toasted tortilla, add sliced avocado, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and a drizzle of hot honey.

Chili Crisp Version:

Again, same method as the above step-by-step however use: nonstick spray for the pan, a little chopped green onion and 1 to 2 tablespoons chili crisp, 1-1/2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese, 1 large egg, salt and pepper. Once youv’e toasted a tortilla, add a sprinkle of green onion and cilantro.
