Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1/2 red pepper, chopped
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1–2 scallions (about 1/4 cup), chopped
- A few basil leaves
Dairy & Eggs
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
Other
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Wash all fresh vegetables thoroughly. Chop the red pepper, tomato, spinach, scallions, and basil leaves into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and easy eating.
- Sauté Peppers and Tomatoes: Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the chopped red pepper and tomato to the pan, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add Scallions and Spinach: Stir in the scallions and spinach. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes release their juices and then thicken slightly as the moisture evaporates.
- Scramble Eggs and Feta: Crack in the eggs directly over the cooked vegetables and add the crumbled feta. Stir continuously to scramble the eggs, cooking for about 2 minutes until just set but still moist.
- Serve Immediately: Plate the scramble and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve alone or with toasted bread, avocado slices, olives, or additional vegetables on the side for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor and juiciness.
- Adjust the amount of feta cheese based on your preference for saltiness and creaminess.
- For a low-fat version, use egg whites instead of whole eggs and reduce feta amount.
- This dish pairs well with crusty bread or pita for a Mediterranean touch.
- You can add herbs like oregano or thyme for more aromatic flavor.
