Ingredients:

 2 eggs (or egg whites for a lighter option)  1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

 1/2 cup fresh spinach, chopped  1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved  1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

 Salt and black pepper to taste

 Fresh basil or oregano for garnish Instructions:

1) Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. 2) Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach, sautéing until softened. 3) Beat the eggs in a bowl, then pour into the skillet. 4) Stir gently, allowing eggs to cook evenly. 5) Sprinkle feta cheese on top and season with salt and pepper. 6) Cook until eggs are just set, then garnish with fresh basil or oregano. 7) Serve with whole-grain bread or pita. Variations:

mushrooms and bell peppers.

omelet.

 Vegan Option: Use crumbled tofu in place of eggs and nutritional yeast

instead of feta.
