Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 60 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 small piece red onion, finely chopped
- 100 grams cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 small piece cucumber, diced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped red onion, quartered cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped parsley, and crumbled feta cheese.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the mixture and gently toss to combine all the ingredients. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. This will be your fresh salsa.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Once the oil is warm, pour the beaten eggs into the skillet.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pulling them across the pan as they begin to set. This will create soft, creamy curds.
When the eggs are almost cooked and still slightly runny, remove the skillet from heat. The residual heat will finish cooking them, ensuring they remain delicate and fluffy.
Serve immediately, with the scrambled eggs divided onto two plates.
Top each serving with a generous portion of the fresh feta salsa.
Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired, and serve with whole grain toast or a side salad for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
