• 4 large eggs
• 2 tbsp milk
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 cups fresh baby spinach, washed
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 slices whole grain bread
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Prepare the egg mixture

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Sauté the spinach

Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 1–2 minutes. Remove spinach and set aside.

Cook the eggs

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until just set but still creamy, about 2–3 minutes.

Toast the bread

Toast the whole grain bread slices until golden and crisp.

Assemble the bowls

Divide the scrambled eggs between two bowls. Top each with sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta.

Serve and garnish

Serve immediately with a slice of toasted whole grain bread on the side. Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.

For perfectly creamy scrambled eggs, remove them from the heat when they still look slightly underdone, as they will continue to cook from residual heat. When sautéing spinach, don't overcrowd the pan - work in batches if needed for even wilting. The feta can be crumbled directly onto the hot eggs to slightly soften, enhancing its creamy texture.

This versatile breakfast bowl can be adapted to suit various dietary needs and preferences. For a dairy-free version, omit the feta or substitute with a plant-based alternative. Add diced avocado for extra creaminess and healthy fats. If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce. For a heartier meal, consider adding sautéed mushrooms or roasted red peppers to the vegetable mixture.

Serve this nutritious breakfast bowl with a slice of toasted whole grain bread on the side for dipping into the soft eggs. For a complete breakfast experience, pair with a glass of fresh orange juice or a cup of herbal tea. If serving for brunch, consider offering a side of fresh seasonal fruit to complement the savory flavors of the bowl.
