A light and fluffy high-protein egg white scramble with fresh spinach, tangy feta, and sweet sun-dried tomatoes, perfect for a nutritious and satisfying breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg whites (about 180 grams or 6.3 ounces)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped (about 30 grams or 1 ounce)
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 40 grams or 1.4 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (about 40 grams or 1.4 ounces), oil-packed or rehydrated dry-packed
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Chop the fresh spinach roughly, crumble the feta, and finely chop the sun-dried tomatoes. Mince garlic if using.
  2. Whisk the egg whites: Pour the 6 large egg whites into a mixing bowl and whisk briskly until frothy and slightly thickened but not stiff.
  3. Heat the pan: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and warm gently. Add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds if using.
  4. Add spinach and sun-dried tomatoes: Stir in chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until spinach wilts and tomatoes soften.
  5. Pour in the egg whites: Pour whisked egg whites evenly over the veggies. Let sit undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, folding occasionally until eggs are softly set but moist (4-5 minutes).
  6. Fold in the feta: Sprinkle crumbled feta over the eggs and fold gently to combine.
  7. Season and serve: Taste and season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Optionally, sprinkle fresh herbs on top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cook over medium-low heat to avoid rubbery eggs. Whisk egg whites until frothy but not stiff for fluffy texture. Pre-cook spinach and sun-dried tomatoes to prevent watery scramble. Add salt at the end to control seasoning due to salty feta and tomatoes. Use a splash of water or almond milk if scramble looks dry during cooking. Reheat leftovers gently in a pan, avoid microwaving.
