Egg and Greens Skillet is a nutritious and flavorful dish that brings together vibrant vegetables with a perfectly cooked egg. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for a healthy breakfast or a quick lunch, combining the earthy flavors of kale and swiss chard with a subtle heat from red pepper and the rich, golden hue of turmeric.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and roughly chop the Swiss chard and kale.
- Cut the asparagus spears into 1-inch pieces.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Place a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to the skillet and allow it to melt and coat the bottom evenly.
- Once the oil is hot, add 1 tablespoon of finely chopped onion.
- Sauté the onion for about 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes translucent and slightly golden.
- Add 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine and allow the spices to bloom for about 1 minute.
- Add the chopped Swiss chard, kale, and asparagus into the skillet.
- Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of salt over the vegetables.
- Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted and the asparagus is tender-crisp.
- Use a spoon or spatula to create a small well in the center of the skillet by pushing the vegetables aside.
- Crack the egg into the well you created in the skillet.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Cook the egg until the white is set but the yolk is still runny, approximately 2-3 minutes. For a firmer yolk, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Once the egg is cooked to your preference, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve the Egg and Greens Skillet directly from the pan.
Tips:
- Tip 1: To make the dish even more nutritious, consider adding other vegetables like spinach or bell peppers.
- Tip 2: For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of milk or a sprinkle of cheese to the skillet just before adding the egg.
- Tip 3: Serve the Egg and Greens Skillet with a slice of whole grain toast or a side of avocado for a more complete meal.
The Egg and Greens Skillet is a delightful and healthy meal that you can prepare in just a few steps. It’s packed with nutrients and flavors, making it a perfect choice for a quick yet satisfying dish. Enjoy your delicious and wholesome creation!
