Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Feta Fried Eggs

In a non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Sprinkle ½ cup of crumbled feta evenly across the skillet, allowing it to cook for 1-2 minutes.
Carefully crack 2 large eggs over the feta, spacing them apart.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the eggs according to taste.
Allow the eggs to cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
Before serving, consider sprinkling chopped fresh parsley and red pepper flakes over the eggs.
Gently slide the crispy feta and eggs onto a warm plate and serve immediately.
