To buy
- 3 ounces fresh spinach
- 2 medium tomatoes
From your shelf
- 1 cup [115 grams] crumbled reduced fat feta cheese
Staples
- 6 eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion
- 1 clove garlic
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Dice 1 small onion and mince 1 garlic clove. Chop 3 ounces of spinach and slice 2 medium tomatoes into wedges. Crack 6 eggs into a bowl and whisk with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foaming. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it softens, about 3 minutes.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet and stir gently from the edges toward the center as they set, about 2 minutes, letting uncooked egg reach the hot surface. When the eggs are half-set, push them to the side and add the garlic and spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts into the eggs, about 1 minute more.
- Scatter 1 cup of crumbled feta over the scramble and fold it in gently along with the tomato wedges. Cook until the eggs are set but still moist, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
Note Swap spinach for arugula or any leafy green. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for one day; eat cold or reheat gently. Serve with flatbread or over rice to stretch the dish.
