Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Low-sodium salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Diced tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the low-sodium salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until well combined.
Roughly chop the fresh spinach leaves and crumble the feta cheese.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted.
Optional: Add diced tomatoes to the skillet and sauté for another minute.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the spinach (and tomatoes, if added). Allow the edges to set slightly before stirring.
Gently fold the eggs with a spatula, creating soft curds as they cook. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are almost fully set.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta over the eggs. Fold once more and remove the skillet from heat.
Serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy scrambled eggs with a side of whole-grain toast or mixed fruit for an additional nutrient boost.
