Chef notes
This simple egg dish delivers the same delicious punch of a classic Greek omelet (spinach, feta and eggs) without the fuss of actually making an omelet. There’s no flipping, no filling and no folding. Everything gets scrambled together! How easy is that? Easy!
Note: Swap in marinated feta or herb-marinated goat cheese like Meredith Dairy for additional flavor.
