# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in 20 minutes, making it perfect for mornings when you actually want to sit down and eat instead of rushing out the door.
  • The salty feta against creamy eggs and fresh spinach tastes indulgent but feels completely nourishing.
02 -
  • The moment eggs look done in the pan, they're usually overdone, so pull them off the heat when they still look slightly loose and let the residual heat finish the job.
  • Don't wash your spinach right before cooking, or the excess water will steam it instead of sautéing it, making a soggy mess instead of tender greens.
03 -
  • Save time by buying pre-washed baby spinach and halving cherry tomatoes the night before if you're meal-prepping this for multiple mornings.
  • If your feta is very salty, rinse the crumbles under cold water and pat dry to control the final seasoning of the bowl.
