Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup spinach, chopped
- 1 tablespoon feta cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare your mise en place by dicing tomatoes, chopping spinach, and having feta cheese crumbled and ready.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil, ensuring the pan is evenly coated.
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Add diced tomatoes to the heated skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until they begin to soften and release their natural juices.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with tomatoes, using a silicone spatula to gently fold and scramble the eggs.
- When eggs are almost set but still slightly wet, add chopped spinach and continue folding gently to incorporate.
- Season the scramble with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, continuing to stir and cook until eggs are fully set but not dry.
- Remove from heat and transfer the scramble to a serving plate.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the scramble, allowing it to slightly melt from the residual heat.
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnishing with additional fresh herbs like basil or parsley if desired.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor and texture. Farm-fresh eggs will make a significant difference in your scramble.
- Control your heat carefully - medium heat is crucial to prevent eggs from becoming rubbery or overcooked.
- Always whisk eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which creates a lighter, fluffier texture.
- Add spinach towards the end of cooking to preserve its bright green color and prevent wilting.
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of dried oregano or fresh basil when seasoning.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron pan to ensure easy egg release and minimal cleanup.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the eggs at their creamy, delectable best - scrambled eggs wait for no one!
