Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons milk or dairy-free alternative
Instructions
Begin by washing and drying the fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a fork or whisk. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and mix well.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Once the olive oil is hot, add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes until they start to soften.
Remove the spinach and tomatoes from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula to scramble, ensuring the eggs cook evenly.
After the eggs begin to set, add the spinach and tomatoes back into the skillet with the eggs.
Add the feta cheese and continue to cook until the eggs are fully set, stirring occasionally.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the freshly chopped basil over the scrambled eggs.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Mediterranean Diet Scrambled Eggs with Spinach.
