Ingredients
Scale
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) baby spinach
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) tomato, diced and seeded (roughly ½ medium tomato)
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) feta cheese, cubed
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preparation: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium flame, creating an ideal cooking surface for the Mediterranean-inspired scramble.
- Vegetable Infusion: Add diced tomatoes and spinach to the pan, sautéing until greens wilt and release their vibrant flavors, creating a colorful base for the eggs.
- Egg Integration: Crack eggs directly into the vegetable mixture, using a flexible spatula to gently fold and combine ingredients, transforming the dish into a creamy, cohesive scramble.
- Cheese Incorporation: Distribute feta cheese throughout the eggs, allowing it to melt slightly and impart its characteristic tangy essence into the dish.
- Final Touches: Continue stirring until eggs reach desired consistency, seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the Mediterranean flavor profile.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling chopped fresh herbs like dill or parsley over the top, creating a visually appealing and aromatic breakfast that celebrates Mediterranean culinary traditions.
Notes
- Cheese Melting Technique: Add feta during final moments of cooking to prevent over-browning and maintain its delicate, creamy texture.
- Vegetable Preparation: Sauté vegetables briefly to preserve nutrients and prevent excess moisture from making eggs watery.
- Egg Stirring Method: Use gentle, consistent folding motions to create soft, pillowy egg curds without overcooking or toughening the texture.
- Herb Freshness Tip: Sprinkle herbs just before serving to maximize their aromatic oils and vibrant flavor profile.
