Many would call me the scrambled egg queen — and for good reason. In my world, every breakfast idea is an opportunity for sneaking more veggies into your life. And there’s no easier dish to do that with, than with scrambled eggs.

I’ve combined scrambled eggs with numerous filings over the years (see the Green Goddess scrambled eggs in my cookbook), but these Greek scrambled eggs highlight my love for simple and fresh Mediterranean flavors. They’re also the flavor combination I make most often. Because who can say no to a handful of vibrant veggies mixed with fluffy, whisked eggs that results in one stomach-pleasing, any-time-of-day healthy meal?

Greek Scrambled Eggs Ingredients

While I love omelets, breakfast casseroles, and egg muffins, my kitchen has a special place for scrambled eggs for an on-the-fly meal. In addition to eggs, here’s what you’ll need for my Greek scrambled eggs:

  • Vegetables: A mix of grape tomatoes, baby spinach, and green onions is my go-to combo for a simple Mediterranean touch. Similar to my Mediterranean ground beef stir fry – but with eggs!
  • Cheese: Fresh feta cheese is ideal. But you can also swap it with goat cheese or completely omit it if you’re dairy-free.

How To Make Greek Scrambled Eggs

Prep the egg mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper. For even fluffier eggs, you can pour a splash of milk into the mix.

Cook the vegetables. Sauté the tomatoes, baby spinach, and white parts of the green onion in a pan for 2 to 3 minutes. Then, add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds. The spinach should be wilted and the tomatoes blistered.

Complete the scramble. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, let it settle for a minute, and use a spatula to gently pull across the bottom, forming long curds of scrambled eggs. This will ensure your scrambled eggs are still full and fluffy, not overly scrambled into bits. Then, when the eggs are mostly set, but a little softness remains, add the green parts of the green onion and the feta cheese. Remove the pan from the heat and continue stirring until cooked through.

  1. Awesome as always Lisa, and thank you.
    I always put a bit of cottage cheese in our scramble for the dairy and flavor, but the feta precludes this of course.

  2. This scrambled egg dish is perfect! Both my partner and I love it. Totally obsessed with your website and YouTube account. Thank you5 stars

    1. Thanks so much, Fiona! I really appreciate that. And I’m happy you and your partner loved this breakfast recipe. :)

  3. I gave this recipe a try because I was tired of plain scrambled eggs in the morning. It didn’t disappoint! It was super simple to make and full of flavor. Hubby approved too!5 stars

  4. Good morning,
    I recently joined the Whole 30 meal plan. As I’m looking through the recipes , the Greek Scrambled Eggs calls for Feta Cheese. Is this not considered a dairy product?
    Thanks for your help clarifying this for me.

  5. As a Greek, I would add some tomato sauce to make this a bit more traditional. Also, some dried oregano springled on top would bring amazing flavor to this dish!5 stars

    1. Lisa, I have followed you religiously now for years and love every recipe 100%! Just returned from another ‘eating my way through Greece’ adventure and agree with Zoi – Strapatsada is my absolute favorite breakfast! A little dollop of tomato sauce (or smaller drop of paste) and sprinkle of ground oregano and – chef’s kiss!

  6. These were absolutely delicious! I’m not going to lie, I was a little concerned when I didn’t see any spices that I’m used to seeing. Cooked them exactly as is, needs nothing added! Delicious! My 10-year-old even ate them! And not only did she eat them, she loved them!5 stars

    1. Yay, love to hear that! It’s amazing how a few simple ingredients have plenty of oomph on their own. :)

  7. Great recipe! I’ve been playing around with eliminating dairy to help some symptoms, so I tried making this recipe with a vegan feta. I knew the recipe would be solid, since I’ve been making a similar scramble for years, but I was nervous about swapping out such a key ingredient. Hurray! The vegan feta was much better than I expected! Just thought I’d mention for your dairy free readers.5 stars

  8. Another delicious recipe thank you! I didn’t have any spinach so stirred through some radish and broccoli microgreens and it was still tasty. 5 stars
