Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 medium small new potatoes
• 4 slices turkey bacon
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Wash and cube the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the skillet and sauté with a pinch of salt until golden brown and tender, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

In another small skillet, add turkey bacon slices and cook them until crispy. Remove, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.

Step 4

While the potatoes and bacon are cooking, beat the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined.

Step 5

Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside. Roughly chop the fresh parsley, reserving for garnish.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are done, push them to one side of the skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the cleared side.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir to scramble, cooking until the eggs are just set, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 8

Add the bacon pieces, cherry tomatoes, and baby spinach to the skillet with the eggs and potatoes, folding everything gently together until the spinach is wilted.

Step 9

Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top and cook for an additional 1 minute until the cheese is slightly melted.

Step 10

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy with whole-grain toast or as is for a nutritious breakfast!
