Spinach and Feta Breakfast Bowl (Printable Version)

Hearty morning bowl with fluffy eggs, sautéed spinach, tangy feta, and ripe cherry tomatoes served alongside toasted whole grain bread.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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 - In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper 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 - 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 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.
06 - Serve immediately with a slice of toasted whole grain bread on the side. Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It feels indulgent but takes less time than waiting in a cafe line.
  • Every bite has a mix of creamy, salty, soft, and crisp textures that wake you up better than coffee.
  • You can swap almost anything based on what's in your crisper drawer and it still works.
02 -
  • Don't overcook the eggs, pull them off the heat when they still look a little wet because they keep cooking in the bowl.
  • If your spinach is wet from washing, it'll steam instead of sauté, so give it a good shake or pat it dry first.
  • Feta varies wildly in saltiness, so taste your eggs before adding more salt or you'll regret it.
03 -
  • Use a nonstick skillet or a well seasoned cast iron pan to keep the eggs from sticking and tearing.
  • Whisk the eggs just before you cook them, not in advance, so they stay light and airy.
  • Warm your bowls under hot water before assembling so the eggs stay creamy longer.
