Spinach and Feta Egg Scramble

Bariatric friendly quick meal idea

I needed a dinner FAST the other night. In full disclosure, Mr. W and I have been working hard on some improvements for the website (get excited!) and I felt rushed to get dinner together and back to work. I knew eggs would be the answer.

But just eggs sounded too boring. A few easy additions and dinner became much more satisfying and enjoyable!

My local Target sells pre-cooked chicken sausage flavored with spinach and feta. This gave me an idea. I had fresh baby spinach and feta in the fridge and cherry tomatoes in my produce basket. A new egg scramble was born…

This super easy dinner is perfect for weight-loss surgery patients. It’s fast to get together and packed with protein! Gastric sleeve, bypass or band patients – you will love how simple this is. Cut the portions down and make a smaller version for your meal or reheat leftovers for breakfast tomorrow!

Instructions

• Heat a medium non-stick skillet to medium heat. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a medium bowl.
• Add the baby spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally for about 2-3 minutes. You should see the tomatoes skin start to slightly peel and blister. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
• Add egg to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Use a rubber spatula to move the eggs around the pan. While they still look a little "wet" - add the feta cheese and fold into the eggs. Remove from heat.
• Add eggs to other ingredients and toss together before serving.
