Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • red pepper flakes Pinch, optional

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until combined and slightly frothy.
  • Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then sauté chopped red onion for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.

Cooking

  • Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring, until wilted (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Pour whisked eggs over the vegetables and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Gently push cooked edges toward the center with a spatula, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  • Continue cooking and stirring until eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.
  • Remove from heat, then stir in crumbled feta cheese and optional red pepper flakes; residual heat will melt the feta slightly.

Serving

  • Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, then serve immediately with toast or a green salad.

Notes

For an extra kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes. This scramble is also great with other herbs like chives or parsley.
