# What You’ll Need:

→ Eggs

01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 2 tablespoons milk
03 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

→ Vegetables

04 - 2 cups fresh baby spinach, washed
05 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

# Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
02 - Heat 1/2 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.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready in 20 minutes but tastes like you spent way more time thinking about breakfast.
  • The eggs stay creamy and soft instead of turning into rubbery scrambled bits, which honestly changes everything.
  • One bowl, minimal cleanup, and you actually feel nourished instead of just full.
02 -
  • Don't cook the eggs on high heat or you'll end up with rubbery scrambled bits instead of that creamy texture that makes this bowl special.
  • The spinach releases moisture as it cooks, so don't be alarmed by the liquid in the pan, and do remove it before adding the eggs so your eggs don't get watery.
03 -
  • Crack your eggs into a separate bowl first so you can remove any shell fragments before whisking, and do this even if it feels like an extra step because finding shell in your breakfast is genuinely disappointing.
  • The feta will crumble more easily if you take it out of the refrigerator a few minutes before you need it, giving it just enough softness to fall apart naturally instead of clumping.
