• Ground cumin - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a small skillet, toast the pine nuts over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes until the edges start to set.
5. Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts, chopped parsley, and crumbled feta cheese evenly over the eggs.
6. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the eggs are fully set but still moist.
