Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Cheese
- 4 large fresh eggs
- 1/2 cup plant-based feta cheese, crumbled
Meat and Oil
- 6 strips smoked turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
Seasonings and Garnish
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Bacon: In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the smoked turkey bacon strips and cook until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove the bacon from the pan and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Fry the Eggs: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining olive oil if needed. Carefully crack the eggs into the pan. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the eggs. Cook undisturbed until the whites are set and yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the Crispy Feta: Evenly sprinkle crumbled plant-based feta cheese over the eggs. Let the cheese warm and develop a slight golden edge without stirring to achieve a crispy texture.
- Assemble and Garnish: Transfer the fried eggs topped with crispy feta to a plate. Arrange the crispy turkey bacon on the side and finish with freshly chopped parsley for color and fresh aroma.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for vibrant yolks and better texture.
- Cook eggs on medium-low heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to allow crispy edges to form.
- Choose high-quality plant-based feta for better melting and authentic taste.
- Drain cooked bacon on paper towels to keep it crispy.
