Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 4 large eggs
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes
• 1 ounce feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and add milk. Whisk together until they are well mixed and fluffy.

Step 2

Season the eggs with salt and black pepper, then set aside.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the cherry tomatoes and sauté for about 2 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 5

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until it has wilted slightly.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit without stirring for about 1 minute.

Step 7

Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, lifting and folding them from the bottom in intervals until large curds form and the eggs are mostly set.

Step 8

Crumble the feta cheese over the eggs and continue to cook for another minute until the cheese is slightly melted.

Step 9

Remove from heat just before the eggs are fully cooked, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves before serving.
