Most of Grace's recipes, which she shares on her TikTok page @graceelkus, are high protein and vegetarian. This twist on the fried egg is no different.
To add an extra tasty layer of golden crunch, Grace uses a special ingredient as the base before adding her egg to the pan.
She explained: "You put feta in the pan, then crack an egg on top." This provided a golden, tasty base on top of which the egg cooks.
@graceelkus 5-minute feta fried eggs: you’ll thank me next time you’re hangry ?????? Inpired by Ali Slagle’s potato, egg, and cheese tacos ?????? Heat small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crumble in feta around perimeter. Crack egg into center; season w/ black pepper & red pepper flakes (no need to add salt, the feta is plenty salty) Cover pan and cook until white is set, yolk is still runny, and cheese is unbelievably crispy. Serve atop toast, w/ hash browns, or my personal fave: in a charred tortilla with avocado & lime. You can oil the skillet, esp. if you’re not using nonstick, but I find the cheese gets crispier w/o More tips on my IG @graceelkus #friedeggs #feta ♬ Midnight City - M83
