Ingredients

For the Eggs and Feta

2 large Egg Use large, fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.
¾ oz Feta Cheese Opt for block feta in brine for an authentic Mediterranean taste and texture.

For the Base

1 small Tortilla Choose corn tortillas for a healthier whole grain option or go with your favorite bread.

For the Creaminess

¼ Avocado Offers healthy fats and creaminess, but feel free to swap in guacamole for a twist.

For Seasoning

a pinch Dried Oregano Adds aromatic flavor; fresh oregano can be a vibrant alternative.
a pinch Red Pepper Flakes Adjust to your spice preference for that perfect kick.

To Cook

Cooking Oil Spray or Olive Oil Prevents sticking; avocado or canola oil works well too.

For Brightness

1 squeeze Lemon Juice A splash elevates all the flavors; bottled lemon juice is a convenient substitute if needed.

For Garnish

to taste Pickled Onions Lends tang and color; optional but highly recommended for added depth.
to taste Chili Oil Drizzle for a spicy finish; omit if you prefer a milder flavor.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces and create a mound in the center of the lined baking sheet.
Carefully crack one large egg into the center of the feta mound, ensuring the yolk remains intact.
Lightly spray the surface with cooking oil or drizzle with olive oil.
Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano and red pepper flakes over the feta and egg.
Bake for about 8-10 minutes until the feta is golden and the egg white is just set.
Serve the golden eggs and crispy feta atop a warm tortilla or slice of toast.
Top with smashed avocado, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and pickled onions.
Drizzle with chili oil according to your spice preference before serving.
