# Ingredient List:

→ Eggs

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 2 tablespoons milk
03 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

→ Vegetables

04 - 2 cups fresh baby spinach, washed
05 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
06 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Cheese

07 - 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

→ Bread

08 - 2 slices whole grain bread

→ Garnish

09 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
02 - Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté until wilted, approximately 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
03 - Add remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Pour in egg mixture and gently scramble until just set but still creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
04 - Toast whole grain bread slices in a toaster until golden and crisp.
05 - Divide scrambled eggs between two bowls. Top each with sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese.
06 - Serve immediately with toasted bread on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in 20 minutes flat, yet tastes like you've fussed all morning.
  • The warm and cool elements hitting your mouth at the same time—that's the magic that keeps you coming back.
  • One bowl, minimal cleanup, and you're genuinely full until lunch without the afternoon crash.
02 -
  • Overcooking the eggs by even a minute will turn them from creamy to rubbery; remove them from heat while they still look slightly underdone.
  • The feta needs to be crumbled by hand or with a fork right before serving—pre-crumbled sits too long and tastes like it's been sitting.
03 -
  • Have all your ingredients prepped and within arm's reach before you start cooking—the actual cooking happens fast and you don't want to scramble for a tomato mid-scramble.
  • If your feta seems too salty, soak the crumbles in cold water for a few minutes and pat dry; it mellows beautifully without losing character.
