Eggs and Dairy
- 4 large eggs
- 2 ounces of feta cheese
Vegetables and Herbs
- 10 grape tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced (including both green and white parts)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Seasonings and Oils
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Preparation: Gather fresh spinach, crumbled feta, chopped scallions, diced tomatoes, and briny olives. Prepare these ingredients beforehand to streamline your cooking process.
- Eggs: Crack four eggs into a bowl. Whisk with a pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper until the mixture is uniformly yellow to achieve a creamy texture.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sauté the thinly sliced green onion until fragrant, then add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, releasing a burst of aroma.
- Cooking the Eggs: Reduce the heat to low. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Let sit briefly, then gently stir with a spatula to cook eggs evenly, resulting in fluffy and moist scrambled eggs.
- Finishing Touches: Gently fold in the halved grape tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese into the eggs, allowing them to warm and blend for texture contrast and vibrant Mediterranean flavors.
- Serving: Serve immediately once cooked to your preferred consistency. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added color and freshness. Optionally, add extra herbs or spices for more depth.
