Ingredients

• 4 pieces large eggs
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 cup fresh spinach
• 8 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with a pinch of salt and black pepper until they are well blended. Set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the chopped green onions to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until they are soft and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and stir occasionally until the leaves are wilted, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves and add them to the skillet. Cook for another minute until they start to soften.

Step 6

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Allow them to set slightly, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center to form large, soft curds.

Step 7

When the eggs are about halfway cooked, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.

Step 8

Continue to cook, gently stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and slightly creamy.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with the chopped fresh basil.

Step 10

Serve the Mediterranean scrambled eggs hot, garnished with extra fresh basil if desired.
