Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 ounce feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add milk. Whisk together until they are well mixed and fluffy.
Season the eggs with salt and black pepper, then set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the cherry tomatoes and sauté for about 2 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until it has wilted slightly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit without stirring for about 1 minute.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, lifting and folding them from the bottom in intervals until large curds form and the eggs are mostly set.
Crumble the feta cheese over the eggs and continue to cook for another minute until the cheese is slightly melted.
Remove from heat just before the eggs are fully cooked, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves before serving.
