olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

Heat a skillet over medium to low heat.

Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of feta cheese to the skillet, leaving room in the middle for the egg yolk.

Crack 2 eggs directly into the skillet on top of the feta cheese.

Season the eggs with smoked salt and pepper.

Set a timer for 2 and a half minutes to cook the eggs sunny-side up.

Cover the skillet with a lid for the last minute of cooking to help the egg whites set.

Check the eggs; if they need more time, continue cooking until the yolk is runny but the whites are set.

If the feta burns, acknowledge that it is not suitable for cooking eggs due to low fat content.

Grate some pepper jack cheese as a substitute for feta, which will melt better and cook the eggs properly.

Repeat the process with the pepper jack cheese, setting the timer for 3 minutes and covering for the last minute.

Once done, check the eggs to ensure they are cooked properly and not sticky.

Serve the eggs on tortillas with Mexican sour cream and hot sauce.
