Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.5 red bell pepper
• 0.5 zucchini
• 6 cherry tomatoes
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 4 ounces lean ham
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables: dice the red bell pepper and zucchini into small squares, halve the cherry tomatoes, and roughly chop the baby spinach.

Step 2

Cut the lean ham into small bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs, add the milk, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk together until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they start to soften.

Step 6

Add the cherry tomatoes and ham to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and stir gently until wilted, about 1 minute.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, and pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and ham in the skillet.

Step 9

Allow the eggs to cook slowly, gently stirring occasionally with a spatula, until they are just set but still creamy.

Step 10

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top and stir gently to incorporate.

Step 11

Once the eggs are scrambled to your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 12

Transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving plate and garnish with the freshly chopped parsley before serving.
