- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Heat oil and melt feta: Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled feta and cook for about 2-3 minutes until it begins to melt and develop a crispy texture.

- Cook eggs: Cook the eggs undisturbed for 3-5 minutes for jammy yolks or longer if you prefer firmer yolks.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve the eggs atop toasted bread or as you prefer.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Adjust cooking time depending on your preferred yolk consistency.

- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
