Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 115 g approx. 4 oz crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 spring onions thinly sliced
  • 5 mini bell peppers any color, finely chopped (or 1 large bell pepper)
  • 1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes approx. 15 tomatoes
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 3 Tablespoons sliced black olives
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons capers rinsed
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • ¾ teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes optional, for subtle warmth
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Toasted whole-wheat bread or pita bread for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Place the olive oil and butter in a medium non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely.
  • Introduce the sliced spring onions, chopped bell peppers, minced garlic, and dried oregano to the pan. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Lower the heat slightly to medium-low. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet (or whisk lightly in a bowl beforehand, if preferred). Immediately scatter the quartered cherry tomatoes, sliced olives, capers, crumbled feta, a pinch of optional red pepper flakes, and a generous grinding of black pepper over the eggs.
  • Using a spatula, gently break the egg yolks and stir the mixture continuously but slowly. Combine the ingredients evenly while allowing the eggs to cook. Continue cooking for 4-6 minutes, adjusting time based on your preferred egg consistency (slightly runny or fully set).
  • During the final minute of cooking, incorporate the chopped fresh parsley, stirring it through the scramble.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Mediterranean Feta Scramble promptly, portioned onto plates. Accompany with toasted bread on the side, if desired.
