These Feta Fried Eggs are trending on TikTok right now, so of course I had to make them! I must say they are very, very good!
The basic technique for this recipe is to make a circle of feta cheese in a skillet and then make a hole in it for a cracked egg. When the feta is crispy scoop it out and place it on a low-carb tortilla, a piece of toasted keto bread, or a chaffle. Then spread some smashed avocado on whatever you choose, then top with the egg.
The recipe has a few more steps, but those are the main things to do. I used a Mr. Tortilla, Pico de Gallo flavor tortilla at 3 carbs. It tasted super good with the crispy feta eggs and guacamole. The carbs would be about 10-11 grams for my meal, but depending on what you choose to put everything on, the carbs may vary up or down. There are ways to cut the carbs. Use a chaffle and use a very small amount of avocado. I used a whole avocado on three eggs, that’s 12 carbs for the avocado right there. Half would have worked just fine. I also topped it with sautéed red onion. I didn’t pickle it like the recipe instructed. Using just a very small amount of onions will keep the carbs down too.
You could get the carbs down to about 7 grams if you use less avocado and use a chaffle. I usually eat only one meal a day, so I can do a little more at a meal, but I only ate 1-1/2 of the eggs. They were very filling and oh so good!😊
Here are some of the steps. The first one is to put the circles of feta cheese In the skillet on medium-low heat. Adjust the circle to fit whatever you are using to put the eggs on. Then make a hole in the center and cook for a few minutes until the feta gets melty and starts to crisp.
Then crack the eggs in the holes. I cooked them just until the whites were done, but I wanted the yolk still runny. Sprinkle with dried oregano and red pepper flakes.
Here are the tortillas with the avocado waiting to be topped with the eggs.
This is the finished product from the recipe where a large tortilla was used. Garnished with the pickled or sautéed red onion and chili oil. See why I wanted to make this? Hope you will give these great eggs a try! 😊
