Spinach and Feta Breakfast Bowl (Printable)

A fresh Mediterranean morning bowl with fluffy eggs, wilted spinach, feta, and tomatoes served with whole grain toast.

# 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
10 - Pinch of red pepper flakes

# Directions:

01 - Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
02 - Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Remove spinach and set aside.
03 - Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until just set but still creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
04 - Toast the whole grain bread slices until golden and crisp.
05 - Divide the 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 parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Ready in under twenty minutes but tastes like you spent half your morning cooking.
  • Naturally vegetarian and packed with protein so you won't be hunting for lunch by ten.
  • The feta and tomatoes give you that Mediterranean feeling without leaving your kitchen.
  • Adaptable enough to use whatever vegetables are sitting in your crisper drawer.
02 -
  • Don't let your spinach sit in the pan while you make the eggs—it keeps cooking and gets mushy, which changes the whole texture of the dish.
  • Scrambled eggs continue to cook slightly even after you pull them from the heat, so pulling them out when they look just a tiny bit underdone is the secret to keeping them creamy instead of rubbery.
03 -
  • Prep your spinach and tomatoes the night before and store them separately—this takes the rush out of your morning and means you can spend more time actually enjoying the meal instead of preparing it.
  • If your eggs are looking like they might break or stick, lower the heat immediately and add a tiny pat of butter, which acts like insurance against scrambled eggs gone wrong.
