Ingredients

Scale

Eggs & Dairy

  • 4–6 units Eggs (Substitute with scrambled tofu or chickpea flour for a vegan option)
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese (Use dairy-free cheese for a vegan version)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (Fresh or canned tomatoes can be used interchangeably)
  • 1 cup Bell Peppers (Any color works—red, yellow, or green)
  • 1/2 cup Red Onion (Can be substituted with shallots for a milder taste)

Seasonings & Oils

  • 1 teaspoon Salt (Essential for seasoning; adjust to personal taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (Essential for seasoning; adjust to personal taste)
  • 1–2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Can be replaced with avocado oil for a higher smoke point)
  • 1/4 cup Parsley or Basil (Substitute with any fresh herb based on preference or availability)
  • 1 tablespoon Hot Sauce or Lemon Juice (Optional for a flavor kick)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vegetables: Rinse and chop the cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and red onion into bite-sized pieces. Set them aside for cooking.
  2. Heat Oil: In a non-stick skillet, pour in 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat it over medium heat until shimmering.
  3. Sauté Onion: Add the diced red onion to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until it turns translucent and fragrant.
  4. Cook Bell Peppers: Toss in the chopped bell peppers and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften but still retain some crunch.
  5. Add Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped cherry tomatoes and allow them to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, letting their juices slightly reduce.
  6. Beat Eggs: In a bowl, crack open 4-6 eggs and beat them lightly with a pinch of salt and black pepper to season.
  7. Cook Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the sautéed vegetables, reduce heat to low to prevent overcooking, and stir gently for about 2-3 minutes until the eggs are cooked softly and fluffy.
  8. Finish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Immediately sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and your choice of fresh herbs (parsley or basil) on top. Optionally, add hot sauce or lemon juice for a zesty finish.
  9. Plate and Enjoy: Serve the Mediterranean scrambled eggs immediately while warm and fluffy. They pair well with toasted bread or warm pita.
