Crispy and Creamy: Try the New Feta Fried Eggs Trend

Crispy and Creamy: Try the New Feta Fried Eggs Trend

A fried egg is already an easy and delicious breakfast, but  social media has seen twists on classics like  viral pesto eggs and a new version that creates a crispy, peaky cheese crust. 

 Food writer and recipe writer Grace Elkus shared her easy breakfast idea that's making waves on TikTok and Instagram. 

 Although she said the dish "requires almost no prescription," she shared the full directions with Good Morning America; under. 

 Elkus said she was inspired by I Dream of Dinner cookbook author Ali Slagle Potato, Egg, and Cheese Tacos. 

 5-Minute Feta Fried Eggs 

 Ingredients 

 Eggs 

 Feta  

 Tortilla, Croutons or Toast 

 Avocado, optional 

 Condiments 

 Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.Crumble the feta (about 40 grams or 1/3 cup) all over. 

 Immediately crack the egg  and season with black  and red pepper flakes (no need to add salt,  feta is very salty). 

 Cover the pan and reduce the heat if necessary, until the egg whites are set, the yolk is still runny and the cheese is incredibly crisp. 

 Served on toast,  hash browns or my personal favorite: Charred Avocado Lime Tortilla.

 Cook's Note: 

 Works with  any hard cheese such as parmesan and maybe other brittle cheeses. 

 You can oil the pan, especially if you're not using non-stick, but I find the cheese gets crispier without it.
