# What You'll Need:

→ 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
06 - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

# 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 to 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.

06 - Serve immediately with toasted bread on the side. Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The whole thing comes together in under 20 minutes, making it perfect for mornings when you're not sure if you have time for a real breakfast.
  • It's packed with protein and greens, so you stay full and energized without feeling heavy.
  • Every component tastes amazing on its own, but together they create something that feels way more sophisticated than the effort suggests.
02 -
  • Don't overcook the eggs—they should look slightly underdone when you take the pan off heat because they continue cooking and you want that creamy texture that makes this bowl special.
  • The feta needs to hit warm (not hot) eggs, so it softens and distributes evenly rather than staying in hard clumps.
03 -
  • Keep your skillet temperature at medium, not medium-high, because eggs scramble better slowly and stay creamy instead of turning rubbery.
  • Add the feta after plating rather than mixing it into the warm eggs, so it stays chunky and flavorful instead of melting into a single layer.
