# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels fancy but comes together faster than waiting in a drive through line.
  • The feta adds a creamy, salty punch that makes scrambled eggs taste gourmet.
  • You can prep the ingredients the night before and just cook in the morning.
  • Its filling enough to keep you satisfied until lunch without feeling heavy.
02 -
  • Dont skip removing the spinach before scrambling the eggs, it releases water and makes the eggs watery if left in.
  • Take the eggs off the heat when they still look slightly underdone, they keep cooking in the hot pan.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or the eggs will stick and tear, ruining the soft scramble.
03 -
  • Use room temperature eggs, they scramble more evenly and cook faster than cold ones straight from the fridge.
  • Crumble the feta yourself instead of buying pre crumbled, it tastes fresher and has better texture.
  • If you want richer eggs, replace the milk with a tablespoon of cream or even a pat of butter.
