# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The salty feta melts into these incredible creamy pockets that mix perfectly with runny egg yolks
- It comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like something from a Mediterranean brunch spot
02 -
- The eggs continue cooking after you pull them from the oven, so remove them when the whites are set but the yolks still have that gorgeous wobble
- Cast iron skillets hold heat beautifully and will keep your eggs warm longer than other pans, which is perfect for a lazy brunch situation
03 -
- If your feta is extremely salty, give the cubes a quick rinse under cold water before adding them to the pan
- Room temperature ingredients will help everything cook more evenly, so try to remember to take the eggs and yogurt out ahead of time
