15 min 4 servings
A nutritious breakfast featuring fluffy scrambled eggs with spinach and feta, paired with a vibrant sautéed zucchini and tomato medley for a balanced, low-glycemic meal.
Ingredients
- 12 units large eggs
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 120 grams feta cheese
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
Instructions
- 1Gather and measure all ingredients. Crack eggs into a bowl, whisk with a pinch of salt and pepper, and set aside. Wash and roughly chop spinach, slice zucchini into half-moons, halve cherry tomatoes, and mince garlic.
- 2Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat at 165°C. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add zucchini slices. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until zucchini begins to soften and turn golden on the edges.
- 3In a separate non-stick pan, heat olive oil over medium heat at 165°C. Add spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted and bright green.
- 4Add halved cherry tomatoes to the zucchini skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes at 165°C, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes soften and release their juices, creating a light sauce.
- 5Pour the whisked eggs into the pan with the wilted spinach. Reduce heat to low-medium at 150°C and stir gently with a spatula for 2-3 minutes, pushing the eggs from one side of the pan to the other, until just set and softly curdled.
- 6Sprinkle crumbled feta over the eggs in the last 30 seconds of cooking at 150°C. Stir lightly to distribute the cheese, allowing it to soften slightly without fully melting. Remove from heat immediately.
- 7Check the zucchini and tomato medley; ensure vegetables are tender but not mushy. If needed, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes at 165°C. Remove from heat when ready to serve.
