Welcome to this delightful and nutritious recipe for a Spinach Scramble with Feta and Basil. It's perfect for a quick and healthy breakfast or brunch. Packed with iron-rich spinach, juicy cherry tomatoes, and the creamy tang of feta cheese, this dish is as tasty as it is easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Thaw the frozen spinach ahead of time and drain well to remove excess water.
2. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
3. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together until well blended.
1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, lightly coat the skillet with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
2. Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until they start to soften.
3. Stir in the thawed and drained spinach. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach is fully heated through.
3. Eggs:
1. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the spinach and tomatoes.
2. Allow the eggs to set slightly around the edges for about 30 seconds before gently stirring. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked to your preferred consistency.
1. Once the eggs are nearly done, sprinkle in the crumbled feta cheese and chopped basil. Gently fold them into the scramble until the cheese is softened and starting to melt.
2. Remove the skillet from heat.
1. Plate the spinach scramble immediately and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with some extra fresh basil or a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure to thaw and drain the frozen spinach to avoid excess water in your scramble.
- Whisk your eggs thoroughly to ensure a fluffy texture.
- Feel free to add other herbs or spices according to your taste preference.
- Cook the tomatoes just until they start to blister to maintain their juiciness.
- Serve immediately while still warm for the best experience.
There you have it—a simple, delicious, and nutritious Spinach Scramble with Feta and Basil that is sure to become a breakfast favorite. Enjoy it with a side of whole-grain toast or a fresh fruit salad for a balanced meal.
