✎
HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.

02

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

03

Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds until the edges begin to set.

04

Gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.

05

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, and chopped dill over the eggs.

06

Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes, gently folding the mixture until the feta is warmed through and the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.

07

Serve immediately with warm bread or fresh tomatoes, if desired.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the herbs. Don't overcook the eggs; they should be soft and creamy, not dry.
↔

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute other fresh herbs like mint or chives for parsley and dill. Goat cheese or ricotta can be used instead of feta for a milder flavor. A pat of butter can replace olive oil for a richer taste.
