Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 20 grams (0.7 ounces) feta cheese
- ¼ avocado
- 1 small tortilla or slice of toasted bread
Seasonings:
- Dried oregano
- Red pepper flakes
- Lemon juice
Oils and Garnishes:
- 1 cooking oil spray or olive oil spray
- Pickled onions
- Chili oil
Instructions
- Coat a small skillet with cooking spray, creating an even layer that prevents sticking and promotes crispy texture.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese across the pan’s surface, distributing it to cover the bottom and edges completely.
- Set the skillet over medium heat, allowing the cheese to gradually melt and develop golden, crispy edges without burning.
- Gently crack a fresh egg directly into the center of the melted feta cheese, ensuring the yolk remains intact.
- Enhance the egg’s flavor profile by sprinkling dried oregano and red pepper flakes across the surface, adjusting quantities to personal taste preferences.
- Cook the egg until the whites are set and the yolk reaches your desired consistency, typically 3-4 minutes for a slightly runny center.
- Simultaneously, warm a soft tortilla using your preferred method – whether gas stove, conventional oven, or microwave – until it becomes pliable and slightly heated.
- Spread ripe, creamy avocado across the tortilla’s surface, using the back of a fork to create a smooth, even layer.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mashed avocado to add brightness and prevent browning.
- Carefully transfer the crispy feta and perfectly cooked egg onto the prepared tortilla.
- Garnish with tangy pickled onions, adding a zesty crunch to the dish.
- Finish by drizzling chili oil over the top, introducing a subtle heat and complex flavor dimension.
