Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 60 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 small piece red onion, finely chopped
- 100 grams cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 small piece cucumber, diced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped red onion, quartered cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, chopped parsley, and crumbled feta cheese.
Step 3
Drizzle the lemon juice over the mixture and gently toss to combine all the ingredients. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. This will be your fresh salsa.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is warm, pour the beaten eggs into the skillet.
Step 6
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pulling them across the pan as they begin to set. This will create soft, creamy curds.
Step 7
When the eggs are almost cooked and still slightly runny, remove the skillet from heat. The residual heat will finish cooking them, ensuring they remain delicate and fluffy.
Step 8
Serve immediately, with the scrambled eggs divided onto two plates.
Step 9
Top each serving with a generous portion of the fresh feta salsa.
Step 10
Garnish with extra fresh parsley if desired, and serve with whole grain toast or a side salad for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
