How it's done
Pickled onions
Place the onion, water and vinegar in a bowl, mix, leave to stand for approx. 30 mins.
Chilli oil
Mix the oil, paprika and chilli flakes in a bowl, set aside.
Feta fried egg
Preheat the oven to 60 °C, warm the plates and platter. Heat a dash of oil in a non-stick frying pan. Briefly fry 1/4 of the feta, shape into a ring (approx. 9 cm in diameter) using a wooden spoon. Carefully crack one egg, slide into the centre of the feta ring, fry for approx. 4 mins. Separate the egg from the base of the pan using a spatula, remove, keep warm. Repeat the process with the remainder of the feta and eggs.
