- Yield: Serves 1
Description
Whether you’re using eggs from your own backyard flock or from your local crazy chicken lady, this simple recipe is a great way to elevate your eggs and get in some greens for breakfast.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 red onion, chopped
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 2–3 cups chard, chopped
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a nonstick skillet, sauté the garlic and onion in avocado oil. Once soft, add chard. It will cook down drastically, so more is always better. Sauté until the chard is wilted and soft.
- Spread the chard out into a thin layer. Make two circle openings, and crack an egg into each. Place a lid on your pan and cover for 2 to 3 minutes, checking to ensure you don’t overcook your eggs. You still want it a little gooey and runny inside.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
