WHAT YOU NEED

N O T E S

If you're unable to find Calabrian Chili Pesto, you can sub any red pesto or traditional green pesto if that's all that is available.
The original recipes I peeped, suggested a non-stick skillet for the eggs. I found the eggs cooked well, but didn't get that welcome crisp around the edges. If you have a good quality skillet where you're confident your eggs won't stick, I'd recommend using that so you can get that nice golden crisp on the eggs.

Begin heating your skillet to just below medium heat. Use just below 1/4 C of crumbled feta per egg. Crumble two separate piles of feta in to your skillet and once they start heating up / melting, crack your eggs over each pile of feta. Season the eggs with salt, pepper, and pepper flakes. Cook until whites are set and yolks are golden and runny. If needed, add a splash of water to the lid of your skillet and flip it over the skillet to cover, allowing the water to steam rapidly and help along the cooking of your yolk.
Preheat a grill pan to just below medium heat. While the eggs cook, brush both sides of your sliced bread with EVOO and place on your grill pan. Grill until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
For service, spread Calabrian pesto on each slice. Top with your feta fried eggs, a sprinkling of fresh basil & parsley, a drizzle of balsamic reduction, and a fresh grating of grana padano and additional pepper flakes. ENJOY!
