Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or water
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon sliced olives (optional)
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley or oregano
Instructions
- Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Heat Oil and Cook Tomatoes: Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until they start to soften slightly.
- Add Spinach: Add the chopped fresh spinach to the skillet and cook just until it wilts, preserving its vibrant color and nutrients.
- Cook Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir gently and frequently to scramble the eggs softly, ensuring they remain fluffy and tender.
- Finish with Feta and Olives: Once the eggs are softly scrambled and cooked through, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and sliced olives evenly over the eggs.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or oregano if desired, then serve the scramble immediately for the best freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Keep the heat moderate to avoid overcooking the eggs, which could make them rubbery.
- Serve with toasted bread, pita, or roasted potatoes to complete the meal.
- For extra protein and fiber, consider adding chickpeas to the scramble.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
