Mornings can be a whirlwind, but that doesn’t mean your breakfast has to be boring! Let’s whip up something light, delicious, and packed with nutrients: fluffy egg whites with spinach and feta. It’s like a savory cloud with a pop of green goodness and a tangy surprise!
Fluffy Egg Whites with Spinach & Feta
Ingredients
6 egg whites (Pro tip: save the yolks for another recipe or use them in a hair mask!)
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (because leafy greens make everything better)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (the more, the merrier)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for that golden sizzle)
Salt and pepper to taste
A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, but why not add a little kick?)
Directions
Prep Time: Start by heating the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. The goal is to get that pan hot but not smoking. You want those egg whites to dance, not burn!
Spinach Power: Toss in the chopped spinach and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until it’s wilted and bright green. Imagine the vitamins seeping into your soon-to-be breakfast!
Egg-cellent Whites: Pour in the egg whites, letting them spread out and mingle with the spinach. Now, the secret to fluffy eggs: let them cook undisturbed for about a minute. Then, gently stir, making sure they stay light and airy.
Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle the crumbled feta evenly over the egg whites. Watch it melt slightly into the eggs, adding a creamy, tangy touch. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you're feeling adventurous.
Final Touch: Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the eggs are set but still soft. You want them cooked through but not dry. Think soft clouds, not rubbery sponges.
Serve It Up: Slide your creation onto a plate and admire the contrast of white, green, and creamy feta. It’s breakfast art! Pair with a slice of whole-grain toast or enjoy as is.
