Spinach and Feta Breakfast Bowl (Print Version)

Hearty breakfast bowl with fluffy eggs, wilted spinach, feta, and tomatoes served with 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

# How to Make It:

01 - In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
02 - Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté until wilted, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
03 - In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil. Pour in egg mixture and gently scramble until just set but still creamy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
04 - Toast whole grain bread slices until golden and crisp.
05 - Divide scrambled eggs between two bowls. Top each with sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese.
06 - Serve immediately with toasted bread on the side. Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The eggs stay creamy and custard-like, never rubbery or overdone, which honestly changes everything about breakfast.
  • It comes together in twenty minutes, but tastes like you actually planned ahead instead of scrambling at the last second.
  • Spinach and feta are a flavor pairing that makes you feel a little fancy while you're still half asleep.
02 -
  • Low to medium heat is non-negotiable here—I learned this the hard way by turning the flame up to speed things along and ending up with rubbery eggs that no amount of feta could rescue.
  • Whisking the eggs with milk makes them set slower and stay creamier, which sounds small but is actually the difference between a bowl you enjoy and one you tolerate.
03 -
  • If you accidentally overcooked the eggs, a splash of milk stirred in at the last second can salvage them back toward creaminess.
  • Roasted red peppers or diced avocado can be added on top if you want more texture and richness, and the bowl still stays light enough for morning.
