  4. Broccoli Feta: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10 or 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped scallions, broccoli, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender but still bright green, about 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the smoked paprika.

Cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the roasted red peppers and spinach. Sauté until the spinach is wilted. Pour in the egg mixture and gently shake the pan to distribute evenly. Sprinkle with the feta cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Season to taste and serve.
