Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.25 cup red onion (finely chopped)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add the salt and black pepper and mix again.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for about 2 minutes or until it becomes translucent.
Step 3
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach has wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and onions in the skillet. Let it sit for a few seconds until it starts to set around the edges.
Step 5
Using a spatula, gently pull the eggs from the edges of the skillet to the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Continue this motion until the eggs are softly set but still slightly runny.
Step 6
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta cheese to the eggs. Gently fold them into the eggs and cook for an additional minute until the cheese begins to melt and the eggs are just cooked.
Step 7
Immediately remove the skillet from the heat to prevent overcooking. Serve the scrambled eggs hot, garnished with additional feta or fresh herbs if desired.
