Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 150g Plant-Based Feta (firm, sliced into thick cubes or slabs)
- 4 Fresh Eggs
- 6 strips Smoked Turkey Bacon
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (natural)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Herbs (chopped parsley, chives, or dill)
Seasonings
- Sea Salt (natural), to taste
- Black Pepper, freshly ground, to taste
- Garlic Powder (natural), a pinch
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the plant-based feta into thick cubes or slabs and finely chop fresh herbs. Pat the smoked turkey bacon dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture before cooking.
- Fry the Feta: Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil (natural) in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the feta slices gently in the pan and fry each side until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Remove carefully and set aside on a paper towel to drain.
- Cook the Turkey Bacon: Using the same pan, add smoked turkey bacon strips and fry until crispy, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
- Fry the Eggs: Add a little more olive oil if needed, then crack the fresh eggs into the pan. Fry gently over medium heat until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Season with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (natural) as the eggs cook.
- Assemble and Garnish: Place crispy feta on warm plates first, then layer the fried eggs on top or beside them. Add the smoked turkey bacon strips and sprinkle chopped fresh herbs over everything for color and fresh flavor.
Notes
- Choose firm plant-based feta designed for cooking to ensure good crispiness and shape retention.
- Maintain medium heat to avoid burning the feta or eggs while achieving perfect crispiness.
- Use the freshest eggs possible for optimal texture and flavor.
- Extra virgin olive oil (natural) enhances flavor and crisps ingredients nicely.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; fry ingredients in batches if necessary to prevent steaming.
