Adding extra ingredients to scrambled eggs is really popular in the States, and I love this combination when I'm in LA. Feta is naturally lower in fat than many cheese, and because the flavour is salty and intense, a little goes a long way. It also helps to keep the texture soft, as the eggs are less likely to overcook. These eggs are particularly good served with a little chilli sauce. For active days, serve the scrambled eggs on wholemeal or rye toast or with brown rice or quinoa, to make this a good breakfast for a training or race day.

100gspinach leaves

100gfeta cheese

freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Step 1

Place a large, deep frying pan over a medium heat and add a dash of oil. Once hot, put the tomatoes, cut side down into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until they start to colour and caramelize slightly.

Step 2

Turn the tomatoes over gently and put the spinach leaves on top. Cook for a further 3 minutes, then stir gently to mix the spinach and tomatoes together.

Step 3

Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl, season with a pinch of pepper and beat to combine.

Step 4

Once the spinach has wilted, reduce the heat to medium-low, pour in the eggs and add the crumbled feta. Gently cook, stirring regularly, until the eggs are mixed with the other ingredients and scrambled but not set.

Step 5

Remove the pan from the heat, check the seasoning, and serve immediately.
