Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon pepper
• 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup cucumber, diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon cumin

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.

Step 2

For the salsa, in another bowl, mix the diced tomato, red onion, cucumber, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and cumin. Stir until evenly incorporated and the vegetables are coated with the lemon juice. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Swirl the skillet to coat the base evenly.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for 20-30 seconds until they begin to set.

Step 5

Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, moving them across the skillet to create soft curds. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set, but still slightly runny.

Step 6

Add in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped spinach, stirring gently until the spinach has wilted slightly and the cheese has warmed through.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat. Allow the eggs to rest for a minute to complete cooking through residual heat.

Step 8

Divide the scrambled eggs onto two plates and top each serving with a generous spoonful of the fresh salsa.

Step 9

Serve immediately. Enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Scrambled Eggs with Salsa as a satisfying and nutritious start to your day!
