🌅 Breakfast
Mediterranean Soft Eggs with Herbs, Feta & Warm Bread
Start your week with a taste of the Aegean coast. Silky scrambled eggs are elevated with briny feta and fresh herbs, served alongside warm, crusty bread for a breakfast that’s both simple and deeply satisfying.

Cost: $2.85
Ingredients (1 serving):
- Eggs
- Feta cheese
- Chopped parsley or dill
- Olive oil
- Bread
- Salt and pepper
Instructions:
- Toast 1 slice of crusty bread (like sourdough or ciabatta) until golden brown and crisp. Set it on your plate.
- Crack 2 large eggs into a small bowl. Add a generous pinch of salt and a few cracks of black pepper. Whisk vigorously with a fork until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a small non-stick skillet over low heat. Add 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the warm skillet. Let them sit for 10 seconds, then begin to gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center with a silicone spatula, creating large, soft curds.
- Continue cooking over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently but constantly, until the eggs are just set but still creamy and moist. Remove from heat immediately—they will continue to cook from residual heat.
