Ingredients
Egg and Feta
- 1/4 cup crumbly feta cheese
- 1 egg
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Base and Topping
- 1 corn tortilla
- 1/4 ripe avocado
- Optional: freshly squeezed lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Feta Ring: In a small frying pan over medium heat, sprinkle the feta cheese in a circular shape, leaving some space in the center for the egg.
- Add the Egg: Crack the egg carefully and pour it into the center of the feta ring. Season the egg with a pinch of salt, pepper, and the red pepper flakes.
- Cook the Egg: Cover the pan with a lid and allow the egg to cook until it reaches your desired doneness. For a runny yolk, this typically takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Toast the Tortilla: While the egg is cooking, heat the corn tortilla in a separate skillet or directly over a gas stove flame until it is lightly toasted and pliable.
- Prepare the Avocado Spread: Remove the tortilla from heat and place it on a plate. Mash the ripe avocado evenly across the tortilla to create a thin layer.
- Assemble the Dish: Transfer the cooked feta-wrapped egg onto the avocado-spread tortilla. Optionally, finish with a fresh squeeze of lime juice for brightness and extra flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality feta cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust cooking time based on your preference for egg doneness.
- Heating the tortilla over a gas flame gives it a slightly smoky flavor, but a skillet works well too.
- Lime juice adds a fresh, tangy contrast that enhances the richness of the avocado and feta.
- For added heat, you can increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce.
