# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in the time it takes your coffee to brew, so theres no excuse to skip breakfast.
  • The creamy eggs and salty feta create a combination that feels indulgent but is actually balanced and nourishing.
  • You can swap almost any ingredient based on whats in your fridge and it still works.
  • Its filling enough to carry you through a busy morning without feeling heavy or sluggish.
02 -
  • Remove the eggs from heat while they still look slightly underdone because they continue cooking in the pan and on the plate.
  • Dont skip removing the spinach before scrambling the eggs, or it will release water and make your eggs watery.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or a well seasoned pan to prevent the eggs from sticking and tearing as you stir them.
03 -
  • Use the freshest eggs you can find because their flavor really shines in simple scrambled preparations.
  • Let your skillet preheat properly before adding the oil so the spinach sears quickly instead of steaming.
  • If your feta is too salty, soak it in cold water for ten minutes before crumbling it over the bowl.
