Mediterranean Scramble with Spinach & Bacon - An Oregon Cottage

We don’t go out to restaurants often, but when we do it’s often for a brunch date to a nearby eatery called The Pump. It’s a remodeled garage full of antiques, road signs and great food.

Brian has tried a number of things from the menu, but I always get their version of a Mediterranean scramble, an egg dish made with fresh spinach, tomatoes, olives, feta and – what sets it apart in my opinion – bacon.

You know how they say everything tastes better with bacon? Yeah, that.

But remember how I said we don’t eat out much? Months and months would go by with no mediterranean scramble so I finally decided to recreate it at home.

Was it surprising how easy this was to make at home? Not really – it’s basically just a scramble, so I knew it would come together easily.

And since we love these flavors and make things like 20 Minute Mediterranean Chicken Pesto Pasta and Mediterranean Fish Bake as well as other recipes like Carrot Salad with Feta & Olives often, I usually always have the ingredients on hand.

To make this you’ll need:

  • eggs
  • onion
  • bacon
  • olives
  • tomatoes
  • fresh spinach
  • feta cheese

As well as basics like garlic, milk or water, pepper, and salt to taste.

And oh, my goodness – why did I wait to make this? Seriously, this is SO good and I love that it’s full of fresh vegetables in the morning. It’s a great way to start the day.

Once you make this, you might find like I did that regular scrambled eggs are rather boring. Be warned.

    Oh my goodness. I am so making this as soon as I get some spinach. I’m sure no one but me, my husband & one of my older sons will eat it, since most of my kids are the “plain eggs” type, but that just means more for us, right? 🙂

    Do I dare ask how goes the power outage? I keep thinking of you cooking on your wood stove insert — ingenious, in my opinion. Hope y’all are keeping warm.

    Looks yummy! We always add lots of sutff to our eggs. My daughter had a friend stay with us a couple of days and I made eggs the first morning with swiss chard, garlic, some leftover cubed potatoes, and bacon. The next morning when I said I was making eggs again, the friend said “Can you just make normal eggs?” It was pretty funny.

      Ha! I’ve had that same response, too, Angi, though most often it was from our own kids. 🙂 So glad they both like dishes like this now!

    This is so completely perfect! I was just sitting here wondering what I could fix that’s easy for supper (my mother is in the hospital and I am worn out), and my chickens have stepped up in their egg laying so I actually have more than a dozen. Thank you thank you thank you!
