Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g extra-lean ground beef
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
- 100 g spinach
- 6 eggs
- 60 ml milk or milk alternative
- 50 g feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Dice the onion and red bell pepper, and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the pan, breaking it up with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the spinach and cook until it wilts slightly, about 2 minutes. Then, remove the skillet from heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a separate pan over medium-low heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and gently scramble the eggs, stirring continuously with a spatula, for about 3-5 minutes until they are just set.
Combine the scrambled eggs with the beef and vegetable mixture in the skillet.
Crumble the feta cheese over the mixture, stirring gently to incorporate.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional oregano if desired.
