Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Feta Fried Eggs

Preheat a small non-stick fry pan over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Lightly spray the pan with cooking oil.
Crumble the feta cheese evenly across the heated pan, spreading it to form a thin layer. Allow it to sauté undisturbed for about 2 minutes until golden brown.
Gently crack a large egg into the center of the melted feta. Season with dried oregano and red pepper flakes. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes.
Warm your small tortilla or slice of toasted bread in a separate pan or microwave for about 30 seconds.
Smash a quarter of an avocado in a small bowl and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
Carefully transfer the egg and feta mixture onto the warmed tortilla or toast.
Top with pickled onions and drizzle with chili oil if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
