Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Low-sodium salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Diced tomatoes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the low-sodium salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until well combined.
Step 2
Roughly chop the fresh spinach leaves and crumble the feta cheese.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted.

Optional: Add diced tomatoes to the skillet and sauté for another minute.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the spinach (and tomatoes, if added). Allow the edges to set slightly before stirring.
Step 7
Gently fold the eggs with a spatula, creating soft curds as they cook. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are almost fully set.
