Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 small zucchini
• 10 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups spinach
• 1 ounce feta cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing all the vegetables thoroughly. Dice the red bell pepper, slice the zucchini, and halve the cherry tomatoes.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, and whisk thoroughly until combined.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes until it starts to soften.

Step 5

Add sliced zucchini and continue to cook for another 2 minutes or until the vegetables become tender.

Step 6

Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and spinach, cooking for about 1-2 minutes or until the spinach wilts.

Step 7

Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the vegetables. Allow them to cook for about 20 seconds before gently stirring with a spatula.

Step 8

Continue to stir occasionally, scraping the eggs from the edges to the center until they begin to set but are still slightly runny.

Step 9

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the eggs and gently fold it into the mixture. Continue cooking until the eggs are set to your liking.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve the scrambled eggs immediately, optionally with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a side of whole-grain toast.
