Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 fresh eggs
  • 1/4 cup plant-based feta, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (natural)
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (natural)
  • Sea salt, to taste

Optional Add-Ins and Garnishes

  • Fresh parsley, chives, or thyme, chopped
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or dash of harissa
  • Sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms
  • Fresh dill, oregano, or basil
  • Light dusting of chickpea flour mixed with natural gelling agent and spices
  • Cracked black pepper
  • Extra virgin olive oil drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather your eggs, plant-based feta, and seasonings. Crumble the feta into small chunks for a creamy yet textured topping.
  2. Heat the Pan and Oil: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a generous splash of extra virgin olive oil. Heat the oil until hot but not smoking for perfect crisping.
  3. Fry the Eggs: Crack the eggs carefully into the pan, keeping the yolks intact. Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sea salt evenly over the eggs. Cook gently until the whites are set and edges turn golden and crispy.
  4. Add Crumbled Feta: Scatter the plant-based feta over and around the eggs. Let it warm and soften for a couple of minutes, forming a luscious creamy layer without losing texture.
  5. Serve Hot: Slide the eggs onto a warm plate and garnish with fresh herbs and optional cracked black pepper or extra virgin olive oil drizzle. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crispy edges and creamy feta.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and achieve even crispiness.
  • Maintain medium to medium-low heat to avoid burning while allowing the crust to form.
  • Fry eggs in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding, ensuring even cooking and crisping.
  • Heat the olive oil thoroughly before adding eggs for a satisfying sizzle and texture.
  • Choose high-quality plant-based feta for creamy, tangy flavor that enhances the dish.
  • Serve immediately as the crispy texture fades as the eggs cool.
