Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 8 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup feta cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the whole milk (if using) and beat the eggs with a whisk or fork until well combined. Set aside.
Wash the fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes. Pat them dry with a clean towel. Cut the cherry tomatoes into halves.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to sizzle.
Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another minute until they are slightly softened.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for a few seconds.
Use a spatula to gently push the eggs around the skillet, allowing the uncooked portions to flow to the surface. Repeat until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the eggs and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Continue cooking for an additional 30 seconds, stirring gently, until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and creamy.
Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to avoid overcooking. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve the scrambled eggs warm on a plate and enjoy!
