Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese Adds creaminess and a salty tang; opt for high-quality block feta in brine for the best melting and flavor.
  • 4 large Eggs Provides protein and richness; fresh eggs yield the best taste and texture.
  • 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Injects sweetness and flavor; any small tomatoes work wonderfully.
  • 1 cup Fresh Spinach or Kale Adds health benefits and color; feel free to substitute with Swiss chard or arugula.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Enhances flavors; avocado oil or melted butter are good substitutions if desired.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances flavors; adjust according to your taste preference.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Provides heat; freshly ground black pepper is preferable for the best flavor.
For the Garnish
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley or Basil Adds freshness; other herbs like dill or oregano can also be used.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes For an extra kick; omit if you're sensitive to spice.
