Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup (diced) red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup (halved) cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup (fresh) spinach
• 0.25 cup (crumbled) feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the milk, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Whisk them together until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and sauté for about 3 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 3

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly softened.

Step 4

Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Pour in the egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges start to set.

Step 6

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges towards the center while continually stirring for about 3-4 minutes until they are mostly cooked but still moist.

Step 7

Add the sautéed vegetables and crumbled feta cheese to the scrambled eggs. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately by transferring to a plate and garnishing with fresh parsley.
