Ingredients

1 block Full fat Greek feta cheese crumbled
2 eggs Large eggs fresh
2 tortillas Small tortillas
1 tbsp Olive oil
1 avocado Fresh avocado mashed
1 tsp Red pepper flakes
1 pinch Cracked black pepper
1 tsp Dried oregano

Equipment

Non-stick skillet,
- Spatula

Method

Prepare the skillet

Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a tiny splash of olive oil and swirl it around.

Create the cheese ring

Sprinkle a generous amount of crumbled feta cheese in a circular shape directly into the pan. Leave a small hole in the center.

Add the egg

Gently crack one large egg into the center of the feta ring. Season with red pepper flakes and pepper.

Cover and cook

Cover the skillet with a lid for about two minutes. This traps the steam and helps cook the whites while keeping the yolk runny.

Prepare the base

While the egg cooks, warm your tortilla. Top with mashed avocado.

Slide and serve

Once the cheese is crispy and golden, use a spatula to gently lift the entire unit and slide it onto your tortilla.

Notes

Best enjoyed immediately while the cheese is at its peak crunch. For a lighter side, a simple cucumber and tomato salad with lemon juice and fresh dill complements the richness of the crispy cheese crust eggs.
