What Makes It Mediterranean?

The key elements:

• Fresh tomatoes
• Red pepper
• Spinach
• Feta cheese
• Basil
• Olive oil

These ingredients bring brightness, saltiness, and freshness without needing heavy sauces or extra seasoning.

Texture & Flavor

Texture: Soft scrambled eggs mixed with tender sautéed vegetables and small creamy bursts of feta. Light but satisfying.

Flavor: Savory, slightly sweet from tomatoes and peppers, salty from feta, and fresh from basil. It’s balanced and vibrant.

Why it works: Cooking the vegetables first removes excess moisture, preventing watery eggs. The feta melts slightly into the scramble, adding richness without heaviness.

How To Make Mediterranean Scramble

• 1. Wash and chop the peppers, scallions, tomatoes, spinach, and basil.

• Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat.
• Add the red pepper and tomato. Sauté for 1–2 minutes.
• Add scallions and spinach. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until tomatoes are softened and excess moisture cooks off.
• Crack in the eggs and add the feta cheese.

• Gently scramble everything together for about 2 minutes, until eggs are just set.
• Remove from heat and serve immediately.
• Finish with freshly ground black pepper.

How to Serve It

• With toasted sourdough or whole-grain bread
• Alongside avocado slices
• With olives for extra Mediterranean flavor
• Wrapped in a warm tortilla
• Over roasted potatoes

It’s versatile and works for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner.
