Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ounce feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Begin by chopping the tomatoes into small, bite-size pieces. If desired, you can remove the seeds for a less watery consistency.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with sea salt and ground black pepper.
In a non-stick skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the tomatoes. Let them sit for a few seconds without stirring, then use a spatula to pull the cooked outer edges towards the center of the pan. Continue this process, allowing the eggs to form soft curds.
When the eggs are mostly set but still a little runny, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the eggs.
Add the fresh parsley and basil, then gently fold everything together until the eggs are cooked through, but still creamy. This should take about 1-2 more minutes.
Remove from heat promptly, as eggs will continue to cook in the residual heat of the pan.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean diet-inspired scrambled eggs.
