Ingredients

  • large eggs
  • /2 teaspoon black pepper
  • tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • teaspoon milk
  • tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start by cracking the eggs into a small mixing bowl. Season them with freshly ground black pepper and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined. In a separate bowl, stir the crumbled feta with the milk—this helps the cheese soften and spread more evenly. Set a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil, swirling to coat the surface. Once the oil shimmers, pour in the beaten eggs. Tilt the pan gently so the eggs form an even, thin layer covering the bottom. Let it cook undisturbed until the edges start to set, about 1-2 minutes. I like to watch for the moment the center is still slightly wet but not runny. Spoon the feta mixture in a line across the middle of the eggs, leaving a small border on each end. Using a spatula, fold the top and bottom edges over the cheese, then fold in the sides to create a neat roll. Slide it onto a plate and serve immediately. The entire process takes just a few minutes, making it perfect for busy mornings.

Chef's Tip

I always warm the feta slightly before mixing it with the milk; it helps it meld into the eggs more smoothly. If you're using a particularly briny feta, rinsing it briefly under cool water tames the saltiness and lets the natural tang shine through.

Storage Tips

Store any leftovers wrapped tightly in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat—microwaving can make the eggs rubbery and the cheese lose its creaminess.

Variation Tips

For a Mediterranean twist, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and a sprinkle of oregano. If you want extra greens, fold in some sautéed spinach or arugula before adding the feta. Swapping in goat cheese or halloumi also brings a fresh flavor profile.
