A crispy fried egg with. jammy, runny yolk is a classic American breakfast. But for this viral recipe, we're giving that classic egg recipe a modern twist, with tangy feta cheese and simple, plant-based breakfast taco ingredients. This Viral Crispy Feta Fried Egg with Arugula and Avocado are viral for a reason. Made with crispy feta, a runny, fried egg, and arugula and avocado layered on top of a grain-free tortilla, it's a heathy and delicious breakfast that comes together in under 10 minutes.
Equipment
- 1 Nonstick pan A good nonstick pan is essential for this recipe. I love this one!
Ingredients
- ⅓ Cup Feta crumbled
- 1 Egg
- ¼ Teaspoon Black Pepper
- ¼ Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- ½ Avocado mashed
- 1 Cup Arugula tossed in lemon juice and olive oil
- 1 Grain-Free Tortilla I love the Siete brand!
Instructions
- Start by heating a nonstick pan, on the stove, over medium heat.
- While the pan is heating up, crumble the feta cheese by placing the brick of feta into a bowl and using a fork to break it into small chunks.
- Once the pan is hot, add in the crumbled feta cheese in a circular shape.
- Next, crack an egg into the center of the feta cheese ring and season with black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. I recommend skipping the salt, as the feta cheese is already salty!
- Allow the egg to cook until the edges are nice and crispy - this should take approximately 2-5 minutes.
- While the egg is cooking, prepare the breakfast taco.
- Warm the tortilla on the stove, over an open flame, until it's soft and pliable.
- Next, mash the avocado and spread it across the tortilla.
- Add the arugula to a small bowl and toss it with olive oil and lemon juice. Then, place it on top of the tortilla.
- Finally, once the egg is done, remove it from the pan and add it to the tortilla. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
