The last of it this season, as the stem had gotten thick and had just a few leaves left behind. \u00a0I didn\u2019t want it to go to waste so I prepared this for breakfast one morning. There are many types of feta, and my personal favorite is the Bulgarian style, or French style Feta. \u00a0Both probably would not be considered authentic by a Greek, but I find them to be lower in salt and creamier. (By the way I do have Greek heritage in me so don\u2019t let my relatives know). \u00a0If you prefer a drier feta be sure to select a Greek one! The olive oil should be an extra virgin oil. As for the bread, I like finding local bakeries that make it fresh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17530 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2-PLANTER-TO-TABLE-\u2013-FETA-LLA-AND-HER-HERB-FRIENDS-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"508\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2-PLANTER-TO-TABLE-\u2013-FETA-LLA-AND-HER-HERB-FRIENDS-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2-PLANTER-TO-TABLE-\u2013-FETA-LLA-AND-HER-HERB-FRIENDS-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2-PLANTER-TO-TABLE-\u2013-FETA-LLA-AND-HER-HERB-FRIENDS-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2-PLANTER-TO-TABLE-\u2013-FETA-LLA-AND-HER-HERB-FRIENDS-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2-PLANTER-TO-TABLE-\u2013-FETA-LLA-AND-HER-HERB-FRIENDS-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2-PLANTER-TO-TABLE-\u2013-FETA-LLA-AND-HER-HERB-FRIENDS.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Scrambled Eggs with Feta and Parsley<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4 eggs <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2 tablespoons of crumbled feta <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 tablespoon of chopped parsley <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Olive oil for the pan (1\/2 -1 tablespoon should be enough) <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We based this recipe on the fresh eggs that were prepared for us every morning when we were in Israel last summer, where herbs and vegetables are a common staple for breakfast. \u00a0The key to these eggs is first to whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl, then heat up the pan with the olive oil. You want to make sure not to overheat the pan. They are better if cooked slowly in medium to low heat. \u00a0Once the pan is hot, pour the egg mixture and keep turning the eggs with a spoon in the pan as they cook. This will give it an airy texture and won\u2019t allow the egg to form large clumps, but rather maintain a more consistent finish. \u00a0You can keep doing this until you achieve your desired texture. I like my eggs slightly on the drier side and my husband moister, so we leave ours somewhere in the middle. No need to add salt as the feta is sufficiently salty. Enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17531 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/3-PLANTER-TO-TABLE-\u2013-FETA-LLA-AND-HER-HERB-FRIENDS-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"510\" height=\"255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/3-PLANTER-TO-TABLE-\u2013-FETA-LLA-AND-HER-HERB-FRIENDS-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/3-PLANTER-TO-TABLE-\u2013-FETA-LLA-AND-HER-HERB-FRIENDS-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/3-PLANTER-TO-TABLE-\u2013-FETA-LLA-AND-HER-HERB-FRIENDS-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/3-PLANTER-TO-TABLE-\u2013-FETA-LLA-AND-HER-HERB-FRIENDS-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/3-PLANTER-TO-TABLE-\u2013-FETA-LLA-AND-HER-HERB-FRIENDS-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.crescentgarden.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/3-PLANTER-TO-TABLE-\u2013-FETA-LLA-AND-HER-HERB-FRIENDS.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you could fall in love with food, I would marry feta cheese.
