Ingredients
  

For the Egg Base
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil Substitution: Avocado oil can be used for a different flavor profile.
  • 2 large Eggs Fresh eggs are ideal; farm-fresh gives richer flavor.
For the Flavor Boost
  • 4 tbsp Feta Cheese (crumbled) Substitution: Goat cheese can be used for a different tang.
  • 1 handful Kalamata Olives (pitted) Use store-bought pitted olives for convenience.
  • 1/2 Bell Pepper (diced) Any color of bell pepper or zucchini can work.
  • 1/2 Scallion (thinly sliced) Separate white and green parts for added texture.
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Basil (chopped) Substitution: Fresh parsley can be a good alternative.
  • Black Pepper Adjust based on saltiness of feta and olives.

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet
  • medium bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by dicing half a bell pepper into small cubes and thinly slicing half a scallion, separating the white and green parts for added texture. Pit a handful of kalamata olives, making them ready to mingle with your vibrant Mediterranean Breakfast Bowls. Crumble four tablespoons of feta cheese and measure out a tablespoon of olive oil. This step sets the stage for a flavorful breakfast!
  2. In a medium bowl, crack two large eggs and whisk them vigorously until well combined and frothy. This process should take about a minute and will introduce air, leading to fluffy scrambled eggs. Set your egg mixture aside.
  3. Gently stir the crumbled feta, diced bell pepper, sliced scallion (keeping the white and green parts separated if desired), and pitted olives into the whisked eggs. Add a pinch of black pepper to season the mixture.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the measured olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, pour in your egg mixture. Allow it to set for 1-2 minutes undisturbed.
  5. After the initial setting, gently stir the eggs with a spatula to create soft curds. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the eggs are just set but still creamy.
  6. Transfer the creamy scrambled eggs to a bowl, and top with freshly chopped basil to enhance the aroma and add an herbal note. Feel free to include warm pita or a refreshing side salad for a complete meal experience.
