This is now one of my favorite easy fancy breakfasts.

You just toss the feta cheese in the pain first on low heat til it melt, then add the eggs and scramble as usual. You can pre mix them with a bit of milk if you want it fluffier.

If you do it in the microwave you get little pockets of gooey feta in the egg mat.

A pita with feta cheese and a scrambled egg is one of my standard lunches.

I dunno, a classic mixed sheep/goat milk feta is hard to beat, IMHO. And I might have to give the edge to a properly aged sheep feta at that.

I avoid the mis-named ‘cow’s milk feta’ like the plague though.

That’s my standard omelet order at Society Café in Las Vegas. Delicious and so filling I usually skip both lunch **and** dinner that day.

Hmm, must try this tomorrow, with the eggs from my pasture raised, free range, backyard chickens, the yolks are almost flourescent Orange, thanks to all the nice grass, clover, lawn clippings, and any bugs, snails, worms and ticks they can get their beaks around…

Heck, a month or so ago, I saw my Buff Orpington catch, kill, and eat a small toad…  
Chickens are not vegetarian, they are opportunistic omnivores, want to see them revert to their noble dinosaurian heritage? Toss them a few pieces of ham steak, scrambled egg, or other forms of meat, they become little feathered velociraptors…

I made a goat cheese, ham, and zucchini quiche today. Yum. I’m trying to get over my aversion to eggs and this was a step in the right direction.

My wife and I often get a “Mediterranean omelette” from a local breakfast place – feta, black olives, diced tomato, onion and bell peppers. Tastes pretty dang good.

I love a good scramble on the weekend. This morning I made bacon in the oven (slice it into small pieces while raw, bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees). Scramble 3 eggs while it’s cooking. Then shred a chunk of local cheddar (more pungent flavor than feta) and stir it all together. Yum! 🙂

Well as long as we’re riffing here - scrambled eggs with cream cheese, smoked salmon and chives if pretty damn good too.
