Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl, add the milk or cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Toss in the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional minute, until they begin to soften.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pulling the cooked edges towards the center.
Step 6
Continue to cook, gently stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and fresh oregano over the eggs.
Step 8
Remove from heat and give a gentle stir to incorporate the cheese.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh oregano if desired.
