Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Seasoning:
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grab 4 large eggs and crack them into a mixing bowl, then whisk thoroughly with a pinch of salt and pepper until the mixture looks smooth and consistent.
- Slice 1 cup of cherry tomatoes in half and chop 2 cups of fresh spinach on a cutting board.
- Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until it shimmers slightly.
- Add chopped spinach and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until the spinach slightly wilts and tomatoes soften.
- Lower the skillet heat to medium-low and pour the whisked eggs directly over the vegetables, gently stirring with a spatula.
- Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes, continuously folding and scraping the bottom of the pan to create soft, creamy curds.
- Meanwhile, toast 2 whole grain bread slices until they reach a golden brown color, about 2 minutes per side.
- Sprinkle ½ cup of crumbled feta cheese over the scrambled eggs during the last 30 seconds of cooking.
- Transfer the hot toast to a plate and heap the spinach and feta scrambled eggs directly on top, serving immediately.
Notes
- Gently stir the eggs to create soft, creamy curds that aren’t overcooked or dry.
- Add the feta cheese at the very end of cooking to keep it fresh and prevent melting completely.
- For a protein boost, consider adding diced chicken or smoked salmon to the scrambled eggs.
- Swap whole grain toast with gluten-free bread to make this recipe celiac-friendly and accommodate dietary restrictions.
