# Ingredient List:

→ Eggs

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

→ Vegetables

04 - 2 cups fresh baby spinach, washed
05 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

# How-To Steps:

01 - Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl 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 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a separate plate.
03 - Add remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until just set but still creamy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
04 - Toast the whole grain bread slices 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 a slice of toasted whole grain bread on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 20 minutes, so you're not standing over the stove when you'd rather be easing into your morning.
  • The combination of creamy eggs, tangy feta, and wilted greens hits that sweet spot between satisfying and light.
  • You can assemble it however feels right that day, swapping vegetables or adding extras without ruining the balance.
02 -
  • Low heat is your friend when scrambling eggs, because high heat turns them into rubber and no amount of milk can rescue them after that.
  • Don't oversalt the egg mixture itself, because the feta will already bring plenty of salt to the party.
03 -
  • Prep your spinach and tomatoes the night before so you're only actually cooking for about five minutes in the morning.
  • Use the same skillet for everything to minimize dishes and build flavor layers from the spinach into the eggs.
