Mediterranean Egg Scramble

This savory egg scramble combines the flavors of Mediterranean cuisine, packed with healthy fats and nutrients. The combination of feta, spinach, mushrooms, and tomatoes creates a delightful and nourishing breakfast.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
• 1 cup fresh spinach (washed and chopped)
• 1/2 cup mushrooms (sliced)
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or butter)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Optional: 1 clove garlic (minced) for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended. Add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Heat the olive oil (or butter) in a skillet over medium heat. If using garlic, add it to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté until they are tender, about 4-5 minutes.
4. Add the chopped spinach and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.

6. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top before serving.
