Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 50 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl, add the salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, and whisk until combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped red onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until softened.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the chopped baby spinach and cook for 1 minute, or until wilted.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let them sit undisturbed for a few seconds.
Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs to create soft, creamy curds. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and gently fold it into the eggs. Allow the cheese to warm through for 1 minute.
Remove the skillet from the heat and serve the scrambled eggs immediately, garnished with additional feta or a sprinkle of oregano if desired.
