Main Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 small flour or corn tortilla, warmed
  • 1 to 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced or mashed
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil or butter
  • pinch chili flakes or smoked paprika, optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs like cilantro, chives, or parsley, optional
  • Lemon or lime wedge, optional for a bright finish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Warm the tortilla in a dry pan for 20 to 30 seconds per side until soft and flexible. Keep it covered to retain warmth.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the oil or butter. Once shimmering, sprinkle the crumbled feta in a loose circle, roughly tortilla-sized.
  • Let the feta sizzle for 30 to 45 seconds until it starts to melt and brown at the edges.
  • Crack the eggs on top of the feta, aiming for the yolks to rest over the cheese. Season with salt and pepper, and add chili flakes or paprika if desired.
  • Cook the eggs for 2 to 3 minutes until the whites are mostly set but yolks remain soft. If preferred, gently flip the eggs and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • While the eggs are finishing, prepare the avocado by mashing or slicing with a squeeze of lemon or lime and a pinch of salt. Spread the avocado on the warm tortilla.
  • Slide the crispy feta eggs onto the tortilla with the cheese side facing down to hug the avocado.
  • Fold the tortilla and enjoy immediately while the edges are still crisp, adding a sprinkle of feta on top if desired.

Notes

This meal is best served hot, as the feta's crisp edge softens when it sits. Store leftovers separately to maintain texture.
