How to Make Mediterranean Scrambled Eggs

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Begin by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes slightly pliable. Next, introduce the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, just long enough for them to warm and release some juices. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, ensuring they are well mixed. Carefully pour the seasoned eggs into the skillet with the vegetables, stirring gently to scramble the eggs until they reach your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the top with the crumbled feta cheese and freshly chopped parsley. Serve the dish warm, and enjoy the burst of flavors!
