Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 2 whole spring onions, sliced
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until they are well beaten. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red bell pepper and sliced spring onions to the skillet. Saute for about 2 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the cherry tomatoes and continue cooking for another 2 minutes until they start to release their juices.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, about 1 minute.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the beaten eggs over the vegetables in the skillet.
Allow the eggs to set slightly around the edges, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs toward the center while folding in the vegetables.
Continue to gently stir until the eggs are softly scrambled and slightly runny in consistency, about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and red chili flakes over the eggs, stirring gently to combine.
Season the scrambled eggs with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the eggs with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the Mediterranean Diet Chilli Scrambled Eggs warm. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious breakfast!
