Description

Savory Mediterranean Scramble is a fresh, flavorful breakfast made with fluffy eggs, juicy tomatoes, spinach, and salty feta cheese. Inspired by Mediterranean flavors, this quick dish is light yet satisfying and perfect for a healthy start to the day.


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

  1. Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Spinach: Add the chopped fresh spinach to the skillet and cook just until it wilts, preserving its vibrant color and nutrients.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
