Ingredients Needed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 bunch Swiss chard, chopped
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: grated cheese or hot sauce
Step-by-Step Instructions
Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped Swiss chard to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the greens are wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Create four small wells in the Swiss chard mixture and carefully crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from heat. Sprinkle with grated cheese or hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately for a warm, satisfying breakfast.
