What is a sunny side up egg?

A sunny side up egg means that it is served with a runny yolk and never flipped in the skillet.

What is the Best pan to use for eggs?

I believe the best pans to use for eggs are non-stick skillets. They are so much easier to work with and always create the perfect eggs, no matter what style you like. I like using a large nonstick skillet to make eggs so I have plenty of room for flipping.

How to serve feta eggs?

Serve right onto a plate, like in this recipe, and cover with toppings like tomato, roasted red peppers, avocado, jalapeño and/or green onion. You can also serve the egg and toppings over a warmed flour tortilla shell and eat it like a taco.

Instructions

Place a nonstick skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Sprinkle the feta in a ring like shape, leaving a hole in the center for the fried eggs. Allow them to melt for about 2 minutes. If they start to burn, turn down the heat.
Pour the eggs into the center of the ring. The feta should act like a barrier and keep the egg mostly inside. Sprinkle the salt and red pepper flakes over the top.
Reduce the stovetop heat to low. Pour the olive oil around the outside circle of the eggs. Move the pan in a circular motion, so the oil gets under the edges of the feta and egg. Cover and cook for a few minutes on low heat, until the egg whites are fully cooked.
Top the eggs with tomato, green onion and jalapeño. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

I highly recommend using a non-stick pan for this recipe.
Crumble the feta with your fingers or a fork into similar size pieces, so it melts more evenly.
Getting the heat right can be tricky. Watch that the feta isn't burning, and if it starts to, decrease the heat to low.
Crack the eggs ahead before adding the feta to the pan, so you don't have to rush and be careful not to break open the yolks when cracking.
