# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels like a restaurant breakfast but takes less time than waiting in line at a cafe.
  • You can tweak it with whatever vegetables or cheese you have without losing the magic.
  • The textures play together so well that even picky eaters go quiet and just eat.
02 -
  • Do not walk away from scrambling eggs, they go from perfect to rubbery in about fifteen seconds.
  • If your spinach is wet from washing, pat it dry or the pan will spit oil at you.
  • Feta varies wildly in saltiness, so taste a crumble before you add more salt to the eggs.
03 -
  • Use a nonstick skillet and keep the heat at medium, high heat will make the eggs tough and sad.
  • Whisk the eggs until you see bubbles on the surface, that air is what makes them fluffy.
  • Crumble the feta with your fingers instead of a knife, it tastes better when the pieces are uneven and irregular.
