Ingredients

• Eggs
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tbsp milk
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Vegetables
• 2 cups fresh baby spinach, washed
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Cheese
• 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
• Bread
• 2 slices whole grain bread
• Garnish (optional)
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
• Pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 1–2 minutes. Remove spinach and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until just set but still creamy, about 2–3 minutes.

Step 4

Toast the whole grain bread slices until golden and crisp.

Step 5

To assemble, divide the scrambled eggs between two bowls. Top each with sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta.

Step 6

Serve immediately with a slice of toasted whole grain bread on the side. Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.

Your Questions Answered

→ Can I prepare this bowl ahead of time?

While best enjoyed fresh, you can prep components in advance. Wash and chop vegetables the night before, and crumble your feta. Scramble eggs just before serving for optimal texture and taste.

→ What other cheeses work well in this bowl?

Goat cheese, cottage cheese, or ricotta make excellent substitutes for feta. Each brings a slightly different flavor profile and creaminess to your bowl.

→ How do I prevent my eggs from becoming dry?

Remove the eggs from heat while they still look slightly undercooked—the residual heat will finish cooking them. Using milk in your egg mixture also helps maintain a creamy texture.

→ Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes! Use a plant-based milk alternative, replace feta with dairy-free crumbles or avocado, and opt for gluten-free bread to accommodate various dietary needs.

→ What vegetables can I add to boost nutrition?

Diced bell peppers, sautéed mushrooms, roasted zucchini, or fresh avocado all complement the existing flavors while adding extra vitamins and fiber.

→ Is this suitable for meal prep?

The vegetables can be prepped and stored separately for 2-3 days. However, eggs are best cooked fresh. Consider meal prepping just the components and quickly scrambling eggs when ready to eat.
