Many people have been trying it and creating their unique variations across the platforms.
But Elkus says she found that lunchtimes would sneak up on her during busy weekdays.
Relateably, she’d be ravenous, but not have a clue what to make.
At some point along the way she opted for feta, and the rest is history!
To think that eggs could have such an impact!
They’re what she now cooks when she’s starving and needs food “in 5 minutes.''
Elkus recommends not using oil so the cheese gets extra crispy.
While the pan is coming to temperature, quickly char a tortilla.
Spread avocado overtop and finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
Set your tortilla aside and head back to that hot pan.
No need to add salt, as “the feta is plenty salty.”
Cover your pan with a lidjustuntil the white sets but the yolk remains runny.
It’s easy, fast, delicious and understandably a viral hit.
Since their inception, we’ve seen them slightly ever-so-slightly tweaked and completely reimagined.
In Elkus' notes, she suggests trying it with any hard or crumbly cheese.
“Think Parmesan frico,” she adds.
The variations are aplenty.
I’ve been making the chili crisp version on repeat for the last two weeks.
But the other day I had an epiphanya little sweetness could elevate this even more.
And, you know, I was right!
The feta eggs becomethe bees kneeswith just a hint of honey (see what I did there?).
There are two ways that you could add it to your eggs.
But go easy on the honeya little goes a long way.
Too heavy of a drizzle, and it’ll quickly become cloyingly sweet.
Elkus now eats themevery single day.
And when you try them, you may follow suit.
That’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Not only does it solve the universal lunch conundrum, but it may also bebeneficial to your health.
Either way, the viral feta eggsin whatever permutationare worth trying, at least once.
