"Dad's Eggs"- Simple Stovetop Eggs with Kale and Cheese
Servings 2 people
Ingredients
- Enough chopped leafy greens to cover the bottom of a 8-10 inch skillet
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Chopped garlic if you wish
- Chopped onion if you wish
- Two eggs or one, or four if you’re sharing
- 4-6 slices cheese. Dad always used sharp cheddar. I use what’s on hand but fuller flavor is usually more satisfying somehow and melty cheese is best- crumbly or hard cheeses don’t fill in the nooks and crannies. Today I used pepper jack.
Instructions
- Saute the greens over medium heat (garlic and onions too if you wish) to desired tenderness. I cook kale the longest, chard slightly less, and spinach hardly at all.
- Lower the heat and add the eggs.
- Then top the whole thing with the cheese.
- Cover the pan and cook to desired doneness, for the whites to cook and the cheese to melt it usually takes around 10-15 minutes, if I’m using cast iron I’ll turn off the heat completely about 5 minutes in. I like my yolks runny but if you forget it’s still good.
