If you’ve been reading the blog for awhile, you probably know I have a thing for eggs. And when I say “thing for” I mean “hate them.” Well, “hate” is taking it a tad far–I don’t hate all eggs, just most eggs, and it doesn’t take much for me to hate them, especially if I have to cook them myself. I want to like them so badly because I actually do think they taste good, but they just make my throat want to close up.
We-ell, this past April, Sara and I came up with the idea of making breakfast taquitos. I left Sara to the taquito recipe experimentation because, all together now, “Kate hates eggs!” So imagine my surprise when I loved. Loved. LOVED the eggs in her taquitos, especially when there was a buffer of other ingredients and the crispy tortilla.
As we’ve read through the comments about how people like to use feta, we’ve seen a number of people say they love it on eggs. So I sucked it up and whipped out my frying pan. Since 9 times out of 10, my omelets flop (nearly literally), I usually end up making some kind of egg scramble and then wrapping it up in a tortilla or a crepe (how I can make crepes and not omelets is beyond me). I knew I wanted to use something similar to Sara’s egg filling for the taquitos, but I wanted it to be a little more Mediterranean, so I swapped out a few ingredients. Guess what? I totally loved it. And really, the key players are eggs, salt, pepper, and feta cheese–you can add as little or as much other stuff as you like. But this is what I did:

I love to sprinkle feta on my salad of Spring Mix, Chow Mein noodles and a light Balsamic Vinaigrette and Grilled Chicken. The feta adds richness to my salad so I don't feel like I'm a rabbit when I eat my lunch everyday.
I love feta in a craisain, spinach, pine nut salad with a raspberry vinaigrette. However, my husband hates the stuff and so I have not had the privilege of eating it in over a year because of that and it is soooooo good.
yes us too! I make my girls take a salad as part of their school lunch everyday. It has to have FETA cheese on it. It usually consist of spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, sunflower seeds, FETA and a little Paul Newmans Balsalmic Vinaigrette! So simple, So yummy and healthy for THEM!! Thanks for all the recipes.. keep them coming..
Just made this for breakfast and my husband and i LOVE it!!!! It was so good!!! will be making the lots more!!!
oooh, Kate I *love* this idea. I bet it's especially good on a crepe. Can't wait to try it!
All these feta recipes are just KILLING me! I'm pregnant and steering clear from soft cheeses but I LOVE me some feta….I"ll be trying these recipes in a few months. Probably all in the same week!
What a great idea to wrap the scrambles in crepes! I love that! And I love feta even more :)
I add Athenos FETA cheese to a cous cous side dish that I prepare with grilled peppers and onions. I also add diced cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle in some red wine vinegar, olive oil, chopped garlic and black pepper. Great served warm or cold. Athenos FETA cheese really makes this dish special. LOVE your site…pictures are awesome!! Great recipes and ideas!!
I love feta on my talipia with kalamata olives, sun dried tomatoes parm, lemon butter on top of angel hair pasta… hmmmmmmm good!
I’m so sad that I don’t have tortillas or sour cream because I would make this right now for breakfast! Yes, I could make tortillas (which I have done many times in the past because they’re great) but my stomach’s growling already :D Will definitely have to try this very soon!
I don’t like cheddar on eggs either. Can’t wait to try feta instead. :)
Hi,
Egg and feta combo is magical
Feta cheese does go really well with eggs actually…found a nice write up on the same —> http://www.ifood.tv/network/egg_feta
This is a weekly favorite. There are so many possible combinations with the veggies. The seasoning mix is just right :-) and i love the creaminess of the sour cream. thanks for sharing!!
