Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoon water
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted, melted
- 35 g feta cheese 1.25 oz
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by cracking the eggs into a small bowl. Add a little water, a pinch of salt, and some black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined. This helps make the scrambled eggs light and fluffy.Just a heads up, go easy on the salt since the cheese already adds plenty of flavor.
- Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter or olive oil. Let it warm until it begins to sizzle.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. As they start to cook, gently stir with a silicone spatula. Keep the eggs moving so they cook evenly and stay soft, without forming large clumps.
- When the eggs are almost set but still a little soft, sprinkle the crumbled feta on top. Gently stir until the cheese melts and blends into the eggs.
- To make your cheesy scrambled eggs look even nicer, top them with fresh herbs like parsley, chives, green onions, or any herbs you like.
- Serve your cheesy scrambled eggs with feta hot. They make a satisfying breakfast on their own, or you can enjoy them with a slice of crusty bread, pita, or even some crispy bacon for extra flavor.
- Optional veggie boost: Toss in fresh spinach leaves and halved cherry tomatoes for added flavor and color. Cook for a few minutes until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften slightly.

Notes
- Use low to medium-low heat to keep your scrambled eggs soft and fluffy.
- A small splash of water in the eggs helps prevent them from getting dry or rubbery.
- Butter adds a richer flavor, but olive oil works fine too.
- Feta is my favorite, but you can swap in cottage cheese, mozzarella, cheddar, or any shredded cheese.
- Add fresh herbs, spinach, or cherry tomatoes for extra flavor, color, and nutrients.
- Serve hot with toast, pita, avocado, or crispy bacon for a complete breakfast.
