Scrambled Eggs with Spinach and Feta

Some mornings call for simplicity with a savory kick. Scrambled eggs with spinach and feta deliver just that — a protein-rich, flavor-packed meal ready in under 10 minutes. It’s the kind of breakfast that works for both gym days and work days, keeping you full without feeling heavy.

Why This Combo Works

Eggs are a classic breakfast staple, and for good reason — they’re quick to cook, versatile, and packed with nutrients. By adding fresh spinach and creamy, salty feta, you elevate your eggs into a Mediterranean-inspired dish that tastes far more indulgent than it is. Bonus: it fits into nearly every healthy eating plan.

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or chives)

Instructions

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until well blended.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil or butter until melted.
  3. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 1–2 minutes until just wilted.
  4. Pour in the eggs and let them sit for a few seconds, then stir gently with a spatula, pulling from edges to center.
  5. When the eggs are nearly set but still slightly runny, stir in the crumbled feta.
  6. Cook for another 30 seconds, then remove from heat to avoid overcooking.
  7. Top with fresh herbs if using, and serve immediately.

Variations

  • Use goat cheese or cream cheese instead of feta for a different creamy texture.
  • Add sun-dried tomatoes or chopped olives for more Mediterranean flair.
  • Serve over toasted bread or inside a wrap for a breakfast on the go.
