Ingredients

  • 200 g feta (£0.85)
  • 8 eggs £2.60/12x8=(£1.73)
  • Fresh coriander, roughly chopped to garnish (£0.60)
  • Fresh chives, thinly sliced (£0.60)
  • 8 mini wraps (£0.75)

Cupboard Essential

  • 2 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • Sprinkle of smoked paprika
  • Hot sauce
Metric - US Standard

Instructions

  • Start by adding a little drizzle of rapeseed oil into a non-stick pan over a medium/high heat.
  • Next, add a ring of crumbled feta into the pan, approximately the size of your mini wrap.
  • Crack your egg into the center and increase the heat slightly. Cook until the whites are firm and the yolk is still runny. Use a spatula to scoop up the crispy base and place onto a wrap.
  • Top with a drizzle of hot sauce, a sprinkle of salt, chives and coriander. Enjoy!

Note: Try to ensure there aren't any huge gaps between the feta when forming the ring, this will prevent the egg whites from spreading too far.

    Notes

    • Use a non-stick pan when working with melted cheese like feta for easy scooping and cleanup.
    • Elevate the dish's flavour by using top-notch feta cheese due to its prominence in the few-ingredient recipe, if you have the budget.
    • Avoid overcooking by not letting the feta eggs burn; promptly transfer them from the pan to a wrap when ready.
    • Place a lid on the pan to achieve over-medium eggs if you prefer a firmer yolk, utilising steam for quicker and controlled cooking.
