The secret is out. I have a thing for eggs. I love all kinds of eggs: scrambled, sunny-side up, over-easy, poached, hard-boiled, etc., etc., etc. So much so, that at my last doctor’s check-up my cholesterol was apparently close to the high end of the range. At the time of that check-up, I wasn’t even 30! I mean, really?!? Apparently I have a lot of good cholesterol but also some bad. I was quite shocked but it didn’t really take me long to come to the conclusion that my two eggs per day breakfast routine might have something to do that number. So unfortunately, I have had to cut-back on my egg intake. What that means, however, is that when I do have eggs, I make sure it is worth my while. This Mediterranean scrambled eggs with spinach, tomato and feta cheese is definitely worth my while!
Just look at those vibrant colours.
“Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince, and Dine like a Pauper”. Ever heard of that phrase? In layman terms, it basically means that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Eat well! Breakfast provides our bodies with the energy it needs to get through the day and helps our brain function. Ever written an exam or given a presentation on an empty stomach? Brain farts galore. I mean, I get it; it’s easy to skip breakfast during busy weekday mornings. But making a delicious and nutritious breakfast is easy and takes less than 10 minutes. That’s it!
Let me break it down.
Step 1: Saute the tomatoes and spinach until the spinach is wilted.
Step 2: Add the eggs and mix to scramble.
Step 3: Add the feta cheese and continue to cook.
Step 4: Season with salt and pepper.
That’s it! So, don’t hold back when it comes to breakfast. Go all out. Spiff up your breakfast with this combination of egg, spinach, tomato and feta cheese. It is a match made in heaven. It doesn’t just look fabulous on your plate, but it tastes fabulous! If you haven’t set aside time to prepare breakfast, then all you need to do is set your alarm a few itty bitty minutes earlier. Or just hit snooze one less time 🙂

I’m well behind the curve here but just stumbled across this to use up some toms and feta for breakfast – I popped it in a tortilla wrap and it rocks! Thank you. And eat away at the eggs- some historical iffy research to blame for saying we should restrict them!

Thanks, Katy! Great idea on stuffing this into a tortilla wrap! Will have to try it next time.

Thanks for letting me know!
Any chance you have the nutrition facts or calorie breakdown ?
Unfortunately, I don’t have the nutrition breakdown, but you can easily get that info on a calorie counter online by plugging in the ingredients. Hope that helps 🙂
I LOVE this recipe! I like to add a dash of smoked paprika and sprinkle a little extra feta on top after plating. Yum!! And a great way to start off the morning 🙂 thanks, Sam!
No problem, Ruthie! 🙂
Gonna try this and may add some shallots and portabellas. Thanks!
It was a hit! Definitely making again!
🙂
Yum definitely going to make for tomorrow’s breakfast, I’m a big fan of eggs always looking for new ideas.. thx

Wondering if there is a break down of calories. I made this today and it was delicious! I added a wee bit of hot sauce.
Wow this looks really delicious. I’ll have to try
Thanks, Julia!
Oooh those eggs look divine! Thanks for the recipe!
Thanks, Julia! 🙂
I LOVE eggs too! Generally I use 1 yolk to every 2 whites to avoid the extra cholesterol and reduce calories. I save the yolks for baking bread, which I also love to do! This recipe sounds amazing and I cannot wait to try it out! Might add a little swiss and sriracha in there too! 🙂
That’s a great idea for cutting down on cholesterol! Thanks for the tip! 🙂
perfect breakfast recipe! thanks for sharing. Mornings are so busy that I am always on the lookout for such simpler recipes which are tasty as well..
Thanks! This is the perfect recipe for you on a busy morning 🙂
Yummmm! Just pinned 🙂
Thanks for the share, Miranda!
your recipes are amazing, my husband is a cheese monger so of course we love anything with cheese
Thank you so much, Heidi! I am so happy to hear that you like my recipes 🙂
This sounds fantastic! I am always looking for quick and easy ways to change up scrambled eggs, as that is normally what I make for a fast breakfast!
Thanks, Kim!
This looks amazing! I don’t have time on the weekdays to make eggs, but I definitely want to try this for breakfast this weekend! Love Mediterranean flavours 🙂
Thanks, Tess! I am glad you like the recipe!
Oh that looks so yummy. I’m pinning this one!!
Thanks, Michelle! I’m glad you like the recipe 🙂
This recipe looks so yummy and it is so simple to make. Healthy too! Lately I’ve been eating a lot of spinach so I might give this a try too! 🙂
Thanks, Joanna! I am glad you like the recipe 🙂
Looks great. I can’t have dairy but my family might like it.
JoJo, you can easily omit the feta cheese and enjoy it too! 🙂
These look great! I’ve been trying to have more protein in my breakfast and have been making breakfast burritos. Which I think is great, but this would add some veggies which is a win-win! Pinning!
Thanks, Kristie! I am glad you like the recipe! 🙂

I agree! I just made it again this morning! 🙂
I love omelets with spinach, feta, and tomatoes. I always overthink it and decide that if I don’t have the time to make an omelet then I can’t have it. This is such a simpler way to do it!! Thank you for sharing! I know what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow.
You are most welcome! I am glad I could help! 🙂
I love breakfast recipes that are super easy and quick. Sometimes I prepare similar kind of scrambled eggs but never thought of adding feta cheese. I can imagine how hard it is to cut down your favorite things.
I can’t live without eggs either. I’ve considered becoming a vegan, but I just can’t let go off eggs. :p So true that breakfast is the most important meal.
Haha! Yes, it is just too hard to give up! I don’t know how some people can do it!
Just a great combination of ingredients and flavors. I love the use of tomatoes in this recipe. They are perfect
★★★★★
Thanks! 🙂

This is egg-zactly what I make myself after a work out at the gym! I craaaaaave scrambled eggs the entire time I’m ~at the gym, and adding tomatoes and spinach just makes it so much heartier and more nutritious. Lovely recipe!
Haha you are hilarious!
Sounds like we both love eggs! Haven’t had my cholesterol checked since my last pregnancy so for now, I’m going to enjoy them. 😉 Great recipe!
★★★★★
I got to get mine checked again, it should be down or back to normal now I hope!
Your breakfast is very inviting. Yes I have been stuck in a rut and this certainly would catapult me out of it. Thank you for the inspiration.

Anytime, Marisa 🙂
Wow. Seems easy for a non-chef like me ;p
But will give it a try, thanks 😀
It’s super easy! You can do it 🙂
We eat this every now and then without feta cheese. Its a healthy dish.
Yup, healthy and yummy!
This looks like a “King’s” start to the day! Delicious! And anytime I can get more feta cheese into my diet, I’m happy! 🙂
Hehe, I’m with you on that one!
the recipe seems very delicious. I love the combination with the tomato, it makes the food looks fresh

You’re “spot on” with your analysis of the importance of breakfast (and protein) to start your day! I know way too many people that fail to heed this advice… This recipe is a great way to start the day!
Thanks! 🙂
Yum! That’s a great and healthy way to prepare eggs! Such a lovely sight. Now I’m hungry!!
Haha, thanks!
