Perfect Greek Scrambled Eggs
Perfect Greek Scrambled Eggs are simple and fast and just perfect to enjoy on the Mediterranean Diet. Spinach, creamy feta and scallions makes this a simple, but tasty, breakfast that can be steaming next to coffee within minutes.
Eggs in the Mediterranean Diet
Eggs are allowable in the Mediterranean Diet; however, eggs are higher up on the pyramid. What this means is that you should enjoy eggs occasionally rather than daily. The problem is Mark, my Sweetheart, enjoys eating eggs daily. What I love about Perfect Greek Scrambled Eggs, is that my Sweetheart only needs two eggs, instead of his normal three eggs. It is loaded with Spinach and rich, creamy feta and he never misses the third egg.
I love spinach and we go through several tubs of fresh baby spinach a week. One time I had a friend join me for lunch at my house. She called me a “rabbit” because I kept the stems on my spinach. It had not occurred to me that I should cut the stems off baby spinach (I would cut it off mature spinach as they are tough). Olive Sunshine readers, what are your thoughts on leaving the stems in the Perfect Greek Scrambled eggs? Is it a yay or nay? It seems like a tremendous amount of effort to cut off stems. In my opinion, once they are steamed the stems are soft and add the right amount of texture. Let me know your thoughts!
Breakfast On-the-go Ideas
To make this the perfect meal for the Mediterranean Diet, serve it with a side of fruit or slices of tomatoes and a piece of whole grain toast. I love to add a heavy dash of green hot sauce. You could also use a whole wheat pita, or a wheat tortilla wrap, and make it a breakfast-on-the-go. Check out to-go meal ideas.
What can I have for breakfast? This is a popular question I see on Mediterranean Diet social media sites. This Olive Sunshine recipe is not exotic, unique or difficult. It is simple, eggs in the Mediterranean Diet are allowable and most importantly delicious. I hope this easy recipe for the Perfect Greek Scrambled Eggs helps someone on their journey to a healthier lifestyle! Isn’t it great that simple can be so good?

Instructions
With a whisk, whip the eggs in a bowl with a tablespoon of water or plant-based milk.
Heat a medium pan on medium-low. Once heated, add the extra virgin olive oil.
Pour the eggs in the pan.
After 1-2 minutes heap the spinach and scallions on the eggs and stir every 20 seconds.
As the eggs set, and the spinach is just wilted, add the crumbled feta cheese.
Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and green hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately.
