Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 8 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup feta cheese

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing and drying the red and yellow bell peppers. Cut them into thin strips after removing the seeds and core.

Step 2

Chop the cherry tomatoes in halves and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the bell peppers and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.

Step 6

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until they start to become tender.

Step 7

Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, reducing heat to low, and gently stir with a spatula to combine with the vegetables.

Step 8

Continue to scramble slowly, moving the spatula across the skillet until the eggs are mostly cooked through but still slightly runny.

Step 9

Sprinkle the fresh parsley and basil over the eggs, stirring gently to combine the flavors.

Step 10

Finish by crumbling the feta cheese over the scrambled eggs and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.

Step 11

Serve the Mediterranean Diet Scrambled Eggs hot, and enjoy!
