Spinach and feta scrambled eggs

Looking for a nutritious and delicious breakfast option? Spinach and feta scrambled eggs provide a perfect blend of protein, vitamins, and minerals, making it an ideal start to your day. With the creamy texture of feta and the freshness of spinach, this dish is both satisfying and easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

1/2 tsp olive oil
2.25g
1/4 cup feta cheese
36g
1 cup spinach
30g
2 eggs
100g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash and roughly chop the spinach if not already done.
- Crumble the feta cheese into small pieces if not pre-crumbled.
2. Heat the Pan:
- Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan and let it heat up for about 1 minute.
3. Cook the Spinach:
- Add the chopped spinach to the heated skillet.
- Sauté the spinach for about 1-2 minutes, until it is wilted and tender. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
4. Prepare the Eggs:
- Crack the 2 eggs into a bowl.
- Beat the eggs with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
5. Add Eggs to Pan:
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the sautéed spinach.
- Let the eggs sit undisturbed for a few seconds until they start to set around the edges.
6. Scramble the Eggs:
- Gently stir and scrape the eggs from the edges towards the center of the pan.
- Continue to cook and scramble the eggs, moving them around until they are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
7. Add Feta Cheese:
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the scrambled eggs.
- Gently fold the cheese into the eggs, allowing it to melt slightly and combine with the mixture.
8. Season and Serve:
- Season the scrambled eggs with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
- Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until the eggs are fully set but still soft and creamy.
9. Plate and Enjoy:
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate.
- Serve immediately while hot, perhaps with a slice of toast or a side of fresh fruit.

Tips:

- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and nutritional benefits. If using frozen spinach, ensure it's thoroughly drained to avoid extra moisture.

- Whisk the eggs thoroughly before cooking to achieve a light and fluffy texture.

- Cook the ingredients on medium-low heat to avoid overcooking the eggs and preserving the creamy consistency.

- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, but be cautious with the salt as feta cheese is already salty.

- Serve the scrambled eggs immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Spinach and feta scrambled eggs are a quick and wholesome choice for breakfast or brunch. With simple ingredients and straightforward preparation, you can enjoy a flavorful and nutritious meal that keeps you energized for the day ahead.
