Preparation

Step 1 - 🔥🍳🥬

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts, season with salt and pepper. Sauté until they are browned and crispy.
Step 2 - 🍳🥚⏲️

Reduce the heat to medium. Push the Brussels sprouts to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs onto the other side. Cover the skillet and cook until the egg whites set.
Step 3 - 🧀🫒🌶️🌱

Scatter the feta cheese, olives, chili flakes, dill, and parsley over the sprouts and eggs.
Step 4 - ⏲️😌🍽️

Remove the skillet from the heat and leave it covered for 2 minutes, allowing the residual heat to soften the cheese.
Step 5 - 🍳🍽️😋

Serve directly from the skillet, ensuring everyone gets an egg and a good deal of the sprout-feta-olive mix.
