Feta Fried Eggs will forever change the way you enjoy your breakfast. In this post I’m sharing 3 ways to make this viral recipe! The first is a sun-dried tomato version, the second is a basil pesto and final version is a chili crisp – all of which are to.die.for.
Welcome to my feta fried egg obsession.
Since first seeing the viral recipe, I’ve made it a bunch of ways. Instead of posting 3 individual recipes over the next few weeks, I decided to make my top 3 favorites and pile them into one post.
Instead of doing step-by-step instructions for all three, I shot the photos only for the sun-dried tomato pesto feta fried eggs because the steps are pretty similar for each. Although, I did include separate printable recipe cards for all three at the bottom of the post.
On a separate and unrelated note, check out the newest cutting board that Pat made me. 😍
To Make Feta Fried Eggs You Will Need:
- nonstick spray – This will help to keep everything from sticking but isn’t foolproof.
- pesto or chili crunch – Use sun-dried tomato, basil or cilantro pesto or chili crisp.
- egg – Vital farms is my go-to brand (not sponsored).
- tortillas – Use your favorite!
- herbs or green onion – Like basil, cilantro, dill or green onions and chives.
- salt and pepper – You only need a little salt as feta can be salty on its own.
- hot honey – This is optional but delicious on the sun-dried tomato and basil pesto versions.
- additional toppings – Like avocado, pickled red onion, jalapeños etc.
Spray a medium skillet with nonstick spray (like ghee oil, avocado or olive oil) and heat over medium. Once the pan is heated, add 1 to 2 tablespoons pesto in the center and spread it evenly and sprinkle 1-1/2 ounces of crumbled feta cheese around the parameter of the pesto.
Cook (uncovered) for a few minutes until the feta just begins to melt.
Next crack in 1 large egg.
Cover and cook until the whites are set. Remove the feta fried egg from the pan to a nearby plate and quickly toast a tortilla on both sides.
Transfer the feta fried egg to the tortilla, season the egg with a little salt and pepper (because the feta can be salty, go easy on the salt) and top with dill or herbs of your choice.

Basil Pesto Version:
Follow the same steps as in the above step-by-step but use: nonstick spray for the pan, 1 to 2 tablespoons basil pesto, 1-1/2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese, 1 large egg, salt and pepper. Once you’ve toasted a toasted tortilla, add sliced avocado, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and a drizzle of hot honey.

Chili Crisp Version:
Again, same method as the above step-by-step however use: nonstick spray for the pan, a little chopped green onion and 1 to 2 tablespoons chili crisp, 1-1/2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese, 1 large egg, salt and pepper. Once youv’e toasted a tortilla, add a sprinkle of green onion and cilantro.
