Step-by-Step Instructions

Pour a tablespoon of olive oil into a non-stick skillet and heat over medium-high until shimmering, about 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese in the skillet and cook untouched for 1-2 minutes until the edges are golden and crisp.
Crack the large eggs over the feta, spacing them evenly.
Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes before serving.
Serve warm, allowing the rich yolks to mix with the crispy feta.
