Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 8-10 small tomatoes, halved (pearl, cherry, or grape varieties)
  • 3 cups baby arugula
  • 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
  • A few leaves of fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  • Whisk eggs with garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat up a medium-sized pan on medium heat.  Add olive oil, or other oil of choice.
  • Add halved tomatoes to the pan, stirring around occasionally for about 3 minutes.
  • Add baby arugula to the pan and stir with tomatoes until leaves begin to wilt, about 2 minutes.
  • Space cooked tomatoes and arugula evenly throughout the pan. Pour the whisked eggs overtop, ensuring that the entire pan is covered with egg.
  • Sprinkle crumbled feta overtop of eggs and cover the pan with a lid. Reduce heat and allow to cook. The eggs should puff up and be cooked through when done, about 5 minutes.
  • Once the eggs are done, remove pan from heat. Sprinkle freshly chopped basil leaves overtop. Feel free to finish with an extra drizzle of olive oil and black pepper.
  • Slice into servings and enjoy hot!

Notes

*STORAGE & REHEATING: Leftovers of this recipe will keep for about 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. You can easily reheat it in the microwave!
*RECIPE CAN BE EASILY ADJUSTED FOR # OF PEOPLE: While this recipe is a serving for 2, it can so easily be modified to suit however many people you're serving.
  • Want to whip this up for yourself? Simply halve the recipe.
  • Want to make it for a group of people? Just increase the servings as needed! I usually recommend a 2-egg serving per person :)
 
*RECIPE MODIFICATIONS:
  • Arugula can be swapped with another leafy green, like spinach, kale (esp. baby kale), etc.
  • Feta cheese can be swapped with another cheese, like goat or parmesan.
  • If you want to use fresh garlic (or even onions/shallots) in place of garlic powder, you can mince those and sauté in the oil before adding the veggies.
  • If you want to throw in another veggie, some sliced mushrooms or bell peppers could replace the tomatoes.
  • For a dairy-free option, simply use a dairy-free alternative to feta (or omit completely)
 
*SERVING IDEAS: Since this recipe is primarily a source of protein, healthy fats, and veggies, I'd recommend serving it with a carbohydrate of sorts to round out the meal. Some ideas:
  • crispy, toasted baguette, sourdough, or whole wheat toast
  • roasted potatoes (linked my go-to recipe here!)
  • a whole grain, like quinoa, millet, or farro
