Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 8 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 2 stalks green onions, chopped
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with a pinch of salt and black pepper until they are well blended. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped green onions to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until they are soft and fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir occasionally until the leaves are wilted, about 2 minutes.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves and add them to the skillet. Cook for another minute until they start to soften.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow them to set slightly, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center to form large, soft curds.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
Continue to cook, gently stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and slightly creamy.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with the chopped fresh basil.
Serve the Mediterranean scrambled eggs hot, garnished with extra fresh basil if desired.
