Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl, add the milk or cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Toss in the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional minute, until they begin to soften.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pulling the cooked edges towards the center.
Continue to cook, gently stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and fresh oregano over the eggs.
Remove from heat and give a gentle stir to incorporate the cheese.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh oregano if desired.
