Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Protein
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices smoked chicken bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/3 cup plant-based feta, crumbled
Herbs and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped
- Salt (natural), to taste
- Black pepper (natural), to taste
Cooking Essentials
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients, finely chop fresh herbs, crumble the plant-based feta, and slice smoked chicken bacon into bite-sized pieces to have everything ready for quick cooking.
- Cook Smoked Chicken Bacon: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil and cook the smoked chicken bacon until just crispy but still tender, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Fry the Eggs: Using the same skillet, add a touch more olive oil and crack the eggs in gently. Allow them to fry until the edges turn golden and crispy while the yolks remain slightly runny, about 3-5 minutes depending on preference.
- Assemble and Top: Plate the crispy eggs and sprinkle generously with plant-based feta. Scatter the cooked smoked chicken bacon pieces over the top, then finish with fresh herbs and a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Use the freshest eggs possible for best texture and flavor.
- Fry eggs on moderately high heat to achieve crispy edges.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking and avoid steaming.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ease flipping and transferring.
- Add fresh herbs just before serving to preserve their bright flavor.
