Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 min.
Cook Time: 10 min.
Total Time: 20 min.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil, or cooking oil of choice
- 1/2 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 8 eggs
- 4 cups kale, or leafy green of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups white grains, cooked (your leftover grains of choice)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
Instructions:
1) In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and salt. Set aside.
2) Preheat a large pan over medium heat with oil. Once shimmering, add grains and sauté until heated throughout, 4-5 minutes. Add leafy greens and gently toss to combine. Allow to cook until beginning to wilt, 3-4 minutes for spinach and 6-8 minutes for kale. Add red pepper flakes and garlic and cook just until garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
3) Remove grains and greens from the pan and divide among plates. Add eggs to the same pan and cook – pulling, lifting and folding – until thickened and no visible liquid remains. Top each plate with the eggs and top with a pinch of chives and black pepper.
