Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Feta Fried Eggs

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Crumble feta cheese into a mound in the center of the prepared baking sheet.
Carefully crack a large egg into the feta mound, ensuring the yolk stays intact.
Lightly spray the egg and feta with cooking oil, then sprinkle oregano and red pepper flakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the feta is golden and the egg whites are set.
Transfer the eggs onto a warm tortilla or toast, allowing creativity with toppings.
Top with smashed avocado, lemon juice, and any optional garnishes like pickled onions or chili oil.
