This quick and easy Low Carb Mediterranean Egg Scramble is something I created when I was looking for a way to get more protein, healthy fats, and veggies into my diet.
It’s a tasty, one dish meal that I never tire of and uses a few staple ingredients I always have in my kitchen. I love that it’s quick to make, filling due to the high protein and moderate fat content, and very low in carbohydrates.
If you’re following a keto lifestyle and would like to add more fat, you can always use whole eggs instead of egg whites.
It’s also a great option for those who are vegetarian.
You’ll note the recipe is just for one serving, but you can easily adjust it to feed more.

118 ml Liquid Egg Whites
30 g Baby Spinach Leaves
28 g Sundried Tomatoes in Olive Oil
57 g Feta Cheese
1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt
Pepper
Directions
- Pre-heat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat.
- While you’re waiting for the pan to heat, prepare the baby spinach leaves, sundried tomatoes in olive oil, and the feta cheese. (Note: If using halved sundried tomatoes, versus julienned or sliced ones, you may wish to carefully cut them into smaller pieces with a paring knife.)
- When the pan is ready, pour in the liquid egg whites. (Note: if liquid egg whites are not available, you may separate the yolks from the whites of 4-6 eggs.)
- Evenly distribute a 1/2 teaspoon of Italian Season and salt and pepper to taste across the egg whites as they begin to set.
- Add the baby spinach leaves to the eggs, tearing them into smaller pieces as you go.
- Add the sundried tomatoes in olive oil, and use a spatula to being scrambling the eggs. Doing this before they’ve fully set allows the water to cook off the spinach a bit, while the sundried tomatoes warm and soften.
- Turn the heat down to low, and add the feta cheese, crumbling it (if not pre-crumbled), while continuing to scramble the eggs and allowing them to finish cooking through.
- Plate the egg scramble and enjoy this healthy, colourful dish while still warm.
