Ingredients
(Serves 2)
4 large eggs
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (or ½ cup thawed frozen spinach, drained well)
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
2 tablespoons milk or cream (optional, for fluffier eggs)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
¼ teaspoon dried oregano or dill (optional, for extra flavor)
Optional Add-ins:
2 tablespoons diced onions or scallions
4–5 cherry tomatoes, halved
A few olives or sun-dried tomatoes for a Greek-style twist
Instructions
Step 1 – Prep Ingredients:
Wash and roughly chop the spinach. Crumble the feta cheese if not pre-crumbled. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk (if using), and whisk until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder or herbs.
Step 2 – Sauté Spinach:
Heat olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach (and onions or tomatoes if using) and cook until wilted — about 1–2 minutes.
Step 3 – Add Eggs:
Pour the whisked eggs over the spinach. Let them sit for 10–15 seconds before gently stirring with a spatula. Scramble lightly or push edges inward to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
Step 4 – Add Feta:
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly soft, sprinkle in the feta cheese. Stir gently until the eggs are cooked to your liking — soft and creamy or firm and fluffy.
Step 5 – Serve:
Transfer to plates and garnish with a pinch of extra herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve warm with toast, pita bread, or avocado slices.
Description
This dish blends the delicate texture of eggs with the bright freshness of spinach and the tangy creaminess of feta cheese. It’s light but filling, colorful, and aromatic. The spinach adds a dose of vitamins and fiber, while feta enhances the flavor with a touch of saltiness. Whether enjoyed plain or inside a wrap, it’s a simple recipe that tastes elegant and comforting at the same time.
Tips
Drain spinach well if using frozen — excess moisture can make the eggs watery.
Use a nonstick pan to keep the eggs tender and prevent sticking.
Don’t overcook — remove eggs from heat when they’re just set; they’ll continue cooking slightly from residual heat.
Try fresh herbs like parsley, basil, or dill for a boost of freshness.
Use high-quality feta for the best creamy texture and tangy flavor.
Variations
Scrambled Style: Follow the instructions above for soft, fluffy scrambled eggs.
Omelette Style: Pour eggs into the pan, let set, add spinach and feta on one side, fold over, and cook until done.
Baked Version: Pour the egg mixture into a greased oven dish or muffin tin and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for about 15–20 minutes.
Add Protein: Include diced chicken, smoked salmon, or cooked turkey for a heartier meal.
Low-Carb Wrap: Serve in a lettuce leaf or low-carb tortilla with extra feta and cherry tomatoes.
Correction (Common Mistakes & How to Fix)
Eggs turn rubbery: Heat is too high. Cook on medium-low for soft, fluffy texture.
Too salty: Feta is already salty — reduce added salt.
Watery eggs: Spinach wasn’t drained properly or overcooked; remove excess moisture before adding eggs.
Uneven flavor: Add seasonings directly into the egg mixture before cooking for even distribution.
Enjoy!
Serve your Delicious Spinach and Feta Eggs hot with toast, fresh fruit, or a side salad. Each bite is creamy, tangy, and full of bright flavor — a simple yet satisfying dish that feels like a café breakfast made at home.
