4. Chopping board – to prepare your vegetables and herbs safely.
5. Small bowl (optional) – to crack the eggs into before adding them to the pan, reducing shell risk.
6. Measuring spoons – for accurately drizzling the correct amount of hot honey.
7. Serving plate – to plate the eggs neatly.
8. Fork or whisk (optional) – if you choose to scramble rather than fry.

Ingredients

• 1 tsp hot honey (click here to check my home made hot honey recipe) – adds natural sweetness with a hint of chilli heat, creating the signature flavour of Hot Honey Feta Eggs.
• ¼ pepper, chopped – colourful and sweet, peppers offer texture, vitamin C, and antioxidants.
• 30g (1 oz) feta cheese – tangy and creamy, feta melts beautifully and provides calcium and flavour.
• 3 medium eggs – rich in protein, essential fats, and micronutrients.
• Fresh coriander to garnish – provides a burst of freshness and a mild citrusy note to balance the dish.

Method

Step 1: Infuse the Pan with Flavour
Heat a non-stick frying pan over a low flame. Drizzle in the hot honey and allow it to melt and bubble gently. Add the chopped pepper and cover with a lid to allow the pepper to soften slightly and absorb the flavour of the hot honey.

Step 2: Add the Feta
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the warm peppers. Let it soften and begin to melt into the honeyed mixture, creating a deliciously creamy base for the eggs.

Step 3: Cook the Eggs
Crack the eggs directly into the pan on top of the feta and peppers. Cover again with the lid and cook on low heat until the eggs reach your preferred doneness—whether soft and runny or fully set.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Remove the pan from heat. Top the Hot Honey Feta Eggs with freshly chopped coriander and serve immediately. Enjoy with toast, flatbread, or on their own.
