Feta Fried Eggs Grilled Cheese (Printable)

Crispy feta fried eggs and melted cheese create a satisfying golden grilled sandwich.

# What You Need:

→ Dairy & Cheese

01 - 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
02 - 4 slices cheddar or mozzarella cheese
03 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature

→ Bread

04 - 4 slices sourdough or country-style bread

→ Eggs

05 - 2 large eggs

→ Pantry

06 - 1 tbsp olive oil
07 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
08 - Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
02 - Sprinkle half the crumbled feta in two circles roughly the size of the bread slices directly onto the skillet.
03 - Crack an egg into the center of each feta circle, season with black pepper and optional red pepper flakes. Cook 2–3 minutes until feta is golden and egg whites are set. Flip carefully and cook 1 more minute for soft yolk or longer for firmer, then remove from skillet.
04 - Butter one side of each bread slice. Place two slices buttered side down on a clean surface and layer each with two slices of cheddar or mozzarella.
05 - Top the cheese layers with the feta-fried eggs and cover with remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
06 - Wipe out skillet and return to medium heat. Grill sandwiches 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden brown and cheese has melted.
07 - Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Its the kind of breakfast that feels like a hug while still being impressive enough for guests
  • The crispy feta edges create this incredible texture contrast that you cannot get from regular fried eggs
02 -
  • The feta needs direct contact with the hot pan to form that crispy lace, so do not move it around once it hits the skillet
  • A truly nonstick skillet matters here, or the feta will stick and your eggs will fall apart during the flip
03 -
  • Let the sandwich rest for one minute after grilling so the cheese sets slightly and will not ooze out when you slice
  • Use a sharp serrated knife and cut diagonally for the best distribution of filling
