02 - 2 tablespoons whole milk
03 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

→ Vegetables

04 - 2 cups fresh baby spinach, washed

# How-To Steps:

01 - Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
02 - Heat half 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.

06 - Serve immediately with toasted bread on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in 20 minutes flat, which means you can actually make it on a weekday morning without stress.
  • The creamy feta and soft eggs balance the earthiness of the spinach in a way that just works.
  • It's filling enough to keep you satisfied until lunch, unlike those sad breakfast options that leave you hungry by 10 AM.
02 -
  • Don't let your eggs get brown or crispy at the edges, because they'll taste nothing like the creamy dream they're supposed to be, and trust me, I've made that mistake when I got impatient.
  • The spinach releases moisture when it cooks, which is why you should remove it from the skillet before adding the eggs, otherwise your eggs will steam instead of scramble.
  • Feta really is worth buying from a good source because cheap, pre-crumbled feta tastes like sadness, while the good stuff tastes like the Mediterranean.
03 -
  • Buy your feta from the block and crumble it yourself if you can, because the texture and flavor are noticeably better than pre-crumbled.
  • Don't skip the red pepper flakes if you're the type who likes a little heat, because they add an elegance that hot sauce doesn't.
