Method:Ingredients
- 2–3 eggs
- 1 cup spinach, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon butter
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Crack eggs into a bowl, whisk to combine and set aside.
- Heat butter in a cast-iron skillet or heavy bottom pan on medium-high heat.
- Once the butter has melted, add the chopped spinach and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until the spinach is wilted, tender and bright green, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Once the spinach has cooked, reduce the heat to medium, add whisked eggs to the pan and, using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs. When eggs are about 1⁄2 way cooked, add crumbled feta cheese to continue folding and stirring eggs until cooked to your liking.
- Once cooked, remove from the pan, season with additional salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.

This recipe is so good! It made me feel comfortable with eating potatoes for breakfast during the week and not just on the weekends! Sometimes if I don’t have spinach on hand I substituted with fresh herbs like parsley & chives.
Super quick and easy AND tasty!
Love this quick and easy recipe! Lots of protein,veggies and healthy fats!!
This is one of our favourite recipes for breakfast! We add chopped leeks, oregano and if we don’t have spinach on hand, we use Swiss chard and may even try chopped kale.
Love this recipe. Used cheddar instead of feta, and put scrambled eggs in corn tortillas for an easy and delicious lunch. Thank you!
I really like this recipe. It’s easy to make and stays with you for most of the morning.
