Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs Room temperature preferred; or scrambled tofu for vegan option
  • 0.5 cup feta cheese Crumbled; block feta packed in brine recommended for creamier texture
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes Halved
  • 1 cup bell peppers Any variety, diced; mix of red and yellow recommended
  • 0.5 medium red onion Finely sliced; shallots can substitute
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or basil Chopped; oregano or thyme also work
  • salt and black pepper To taste
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • fresh lemon juice or hot sauce Optional finishing drizzle

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

  1. Prep the Vegetables: Rinse all produce. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the bell peppers into small even pieces, and finely slice the red onion.
  2. Heat the Olive Oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute until shimmering but not smoking.
  3. Saute the Onions: Add the sliced red onion and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
  4. Add the Bell Peppers: Add the diced bell peppers and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and brightened in color.
  5. Add the Cherry Tomatoes: Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until warmed through and just starting to soften. Do not cook them down completely.
  6. Beat the Eggs: In a medium bowl, crack in the 4 eggs, season with salt and black pepper, and beat vigorously until uniform and slightly frothy with no streaks of white.
  7. Combine Eggs and Veggies: Pour the beaten eggs over the sauteed vegetables. Reduce heat to low immediately. Stir gently every 30 seconds for 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs are just set but still slightly glossy. Pull the pan off heat one moment before they look fully done.
  8. Finishing Touches: Crumble feta over the top and scatter fresh herbs. Add a squeeze of lemon juice or hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pull eggs out of the fridge 10 minutes before cooking for the fluffiest scramble. Keep heat on low after adding eggs to prevent overcooking. Vegetables can be prepped up to 24 hours ahead and stored in the fridge. Freezing is not recommended as vegetables release excess moisture during thawing. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water or olive oil.
