Mediterranean Egg Scramble

Method

  1. 1

    Heat the 1 Tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add in the onion and roasted red peppers and continue to saute for another minute.

  2. 2

    Whisk the 4 eggs until smooth and combined.

  3. 3

    Pour in the eggs into the skillet with the onion and roasted red peppers. Let the eggs cook for a few seconds without stirring.

  4. 4

    Use a rubber spatula and pull it across the bottom of the pan to form the large curds. Stir in the spinach, quinoa, feta cheese, za'atar, salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Continue cooking over medium-low heat, folding and stirring the eggs every few seconds. Use the spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan often to form more soft curds. Once the eggs are mostly set remove from the stove and serve with fresh parsley, extra za'atar and crushed red pepper {optional}.

Notes

I suggest making sure the ingredients like the red onion, spinach and roasted red peppers are finely chopped. It helps everything cook evenly with the eggs. Feel free to use whatever spices you like. I enjoy a Greek seasoning blended, Italian seasoning, dill or oregano. You can use a different cheese in place of the feta like goat cheese, Parmesan cheese or mozzarella cheese or leave that out all together.
