Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat the Pan: Begin by placing a small fry pan over medium heat and spray it with cooking oil, ensuring the surface is well-coated. Wait for 1-2 minutes until the oil shimmers.
  2. Prepare the Feta: Crumble the feta cheese evenly across the hot pan, spreading it out. Allow it to sizzle for 2-3 minutes until the edges turn golden.
  3. Add the Egg: Carefully crack the egg in the center of the pan over the melted feta, sprinkle dried oregano and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Toast the Bread: While the egg is cooking, warm your tortilla or slice of bread in a separate pan over low heat until toasted.
  5. Smash the Avocado: Scoop out the avocado into a bowl, add lemon juice, and mash until smooth but slightly chunky.
  6. Assemble the Dish: Lift the egg and feta combo onto the smashed avocado on the toasted bread. Make sure the crispy feta is visible.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Finish off with pickled onions and a drizzle of chili oil. Serve immediately.
