Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 1-2 minutes. Pour in the olive oil to coat the skillet.
  2. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly across the skillet and cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until it melts and turns golden brown.
  3. Carefully crack the eggs over the cooked feta, spacing them apart for even cooking.
  4. Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the eggs, enhancing their natural flavors.
  5. Let the eggs cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are firm and yolks remain runny. Use a lid if firmer yolks are desired.
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a dash of red pepper flakes before serving.
  7. Carefully transfer the eggs and feta to a warm plate, keeping the eggs intact for a beautiful presentation.
  8. Serve immediately while hot, paired with warm bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
