Ingredients
Scale
Eggs and Dairy
- 4 large Fresh Eggs
- 0.5 cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
Vegetables and Herbs
- 1 medium Diced Tomato
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Parsley
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Dill
Other
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
Instructions
- Beat the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and beat them until fully combined to create a smooth and consistent base.
- Season the Eggs: Add a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper to the beaten eggs and stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil, allowing it to warm up to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the heated skillet and let them sit undisturbed until the edges start to set, helping to form the initial structure.
- Scramble Gently: Use a spatula to gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, ensuring soft folds and creamy texture.
- Add Tomatoes: Sprinkle the diced tomatoes over the eggs as they cook to introduce freshness and juiciness.
- Add Feta and Herbs: When the eggs are nearly set but still slightly runny, fold in the crumbled feta cheese along with the chopped fresh parsley and dill to distribute flavor and color.
- Finish Cooking: Remove the skillet from heat just before the eggs are completely cooked to preserve their creamy consistency.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired for an attractive presentation.
- Enjoy Warm: Serve the Greek scrambled eggs while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs for the brightest flavor; dried herbs won’t have the same aroma or impact.
- Adjust salt carefully because feta cheese is naturally salty.
- Serve with crusty bread or pita for a complete Mediterranean-inspired meal.
- For a vegetarian diet, this recipe is suitable as is.
- To make it lower in fat, reduce the amount of olive oil or feta cheese.
