Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Vegetables & Flavorings
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 10 grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced with green and white parts separated
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Cheese & Garnish
- 2 ounces feta cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk eggs: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Cook vegetables: Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add halved grape tomatoes, 1 cup of baby spinach, and the white parts of the sliced green onion. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until tomatoes soften and spinach wilts. Add minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds to release its aroma.
- Cook eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the cooked vegetables. Let the eggs settle without stirring for about a minute to start setting on the bottom.
- Scramble eggs: Using a spatula, gently pull across the bottom of the pan to form long curds of scrambled eggs. Continue to gently stir occasionally.
- Finish scramble: When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft, add the green parts of the green onion and 2 ounces of crumbled feta cheese. Remove the pan from heat and continue stirring until the eggs are fully cooked but still creamy and moist.
- Garnish and serve: Transfer the scrambled eggs to plates and garnish with chopped fresh parsley or other fresh herbs of choice. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality feta for the best flavor.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
- Be careful not to overcook the eggs to maintain a creamy texture.
- Serve with crusty bread or pita to complete a Mediterranean-inspired meal.
- For a dairy-free version, omit feta or use a vegan cheese alternative.
