Ingredients
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 6 large eggs
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 small zucchini
- 10 cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups spinach
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Chop the turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
Dice the red bell pepper and zucchini, and cut the cherry tomatoes in half.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the turkey bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften.
Step 5
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet, sauté for an additional 2 minutes, then add the spinach and cook until wilted.
Step 6
In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the eggs over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Stir gently and continuously as the eggs begin to scramble, folding them over the vegetables.
Step 8
When the eggs are almost set but still slightly runny, fold in the cooked turkey bacon and crumbled feta cheese. Cook until the eggs are just set.
Step 9
Remove from heat and distribute the scrambled eggs among serving plates.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
