Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Cheese

  • 4 large eggs
  • 100g feta (plant-based) cheese, crumbled into bite-sized chunks

Meat and Herbs

  • 6 strips smoky turkey bacon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives), chopped

Seasonings and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Slice turkey bacon into strips if not pre-sliced. Crumble feta (plant-based) cheese into bite-sized chunks. Chop fresh herbs and set aside for garnish.
  2. Fry the Turkey Bacon: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Place turkey bacon strips in the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until crisp and browned. Remove from pan and keep warm.
  3. Cook Crispy Feta Fried Eggs: In the same pan, evenly spread the crumbled feta (plant-based) chunks. Fry undisturbed over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until golden and crisp. Carefully crack the eggs around the crispy feta. Season with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a dash of vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Cover the pan and cook until eggs reach your desired doneness.
  4. Add Fresh Herbs and Finish: Just before removing from heat, sprinkle freshly chopped herbs over the eggs. Serve immediately with the crispy turkey bacon on the side for a delightful combination of textures and flavors.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and achieve the perfect crispy feta crust.
  • Cook over moderate heat to develop a golden crust without burning the feta.
  • Do not stir the feta while frying to allow maximum crispiness.
  • Cover the eggs during cooking to ensure even yolk doneness and keep the feta crisp.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end to preserve their vibrant flavor and color.
