by

Starting your day with a good breakfast is key to feeling energized and ready for anything. This simple yet delicious scrambled egg recipe with spinach and feta is perfect for those busy mornings when you need something quick, healthy, and satisfying.

Ingredients Needed

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon milk or water (optional, for fluffier eggs)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Step By Step Making

  1. Crack the eggs into a medium bowl. Add milk or water if using, and whisk well with salt and pepper until combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Heat the olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until it wilts down.
  4. Pour the whisked eggs over the spinach in the skillet.
  5. Let the eggs cook for about 30 seconds without stirring, then gently push the cooked portions towards the center with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  6. Continue this process until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly wet.
  7. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the eggs.
  8. Gently fold the eggs a couple more times to distribute the cheese and finish cooking. Be careful not to overcook.
  9. Remove the skillet from the heat immediately. Serve hot.
