• 0.5 cup, diced red onion
• 0.5 cup, diced red bell pepper
• 0.5 cup, diced zucchini
• 1 cup baby spinach

• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
• 0.25 cup, crumbled feta cheese
• 1 tablespoon, chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the diced red onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 3

Stir in the zucchini and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and baby spinach to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach wilts.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Reduce the skillet heat to low and pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables.

Step 7

Gently stir the mixture with a spatula, allowing the eggs to cook slowly while scraping the sides and bottom of the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the eggs are softly scrambled.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the scramble and stir lightly to combine.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy with a slice of whole-grain bread or a side of fresh fruit for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
