Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of chopped spinach
- 1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 2 large eggs (or egg alternative)
- ½ cup of cooked quinoa (or brown rice)
- ¼ cup of crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- Olive oil for cooking
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil) for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the Vegetables: Wash and chop spinach, bell pepper, onion, and tomato.
- Sauté Your Base: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, add onions and bell peppers, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the Tomatoes & Spinach: Toss in diced tomato and spinach; cook until spinach is wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Notes
For a dairy-free option, skip the feta or use plant-based cheese. Leftover quinoa or brown rice works well in this recipe.
