Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 1/2 cup scallions, sliced (34 scallions)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons olives, coarsely chopped
  • 6 cups coarsely chopped greens (such as kale, power greens, mustard greens, dandelion, wild arugula, or watercress), measure after chopping
  • 1/4 cup water, vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 4 large pastured eggs
  • sea salt
  • fresh black pepper

Instructions

  1. Coarsely chop the greens and measure.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10” saute pan or cast iron pan with a lid, over a medium heat.
  3. Add scallions and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté 30 seconds.
  4. Stir in the greens and olives. Add ¼ cup water. Season well with salt and pepper.
  5. Cook for 5 mins until the kale has wilted and the water has evaporated, stirring regularly.
  6. Use a spoon to make 4 wells in the greens and crack the eggs into each space.
  7. Turn down to low and cook covered for 3-5 mins until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking. If you want the yolks to stay yellow, cook uncovered.
