My go-to quick breakfast, lunch or dinner for me, the husband and picky toddler. —dj fiyah
Ingredients
-
1 cup
Kale or Spinach
-
8
Eggs
-
1 handful
Your Favorite Shredded or Diced Cheese
-
1-2 teaspoons
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Directions
-
Add 1-2 teaspoons (depending on how much your frying pan sticks) of extra virgin coconut oil to a frying pan. Turn heat to medium low.
-
Once the oil is melted, turn heat to low.
-
In your blender/food processor, add 8 eggs (or just 8 egg whites if you prefer) and 1 cup (or a handful or two) of kale or spinach (or any dark leafy greens you have on hand). Blend/Food Process for 30 seconds or so until the kale is ground up. You don't want chunks of greens, especially for a picky toddler, so blend until the kale is well ground up.
-
Add the mixture to the frying pan. Let sit for a few minutes, with heat on low.
-
Once you start to see the egg mixture cooking, use a fork to stir the egg mixture every minute or so, creating a scramble. Be patient! At first you may think you added too much kale, but the greens seem to add cooking time to the eggs.
-
Once the eggs scramble, but before they are entirely cooked, add the cheese. A handful of cheese is fine. I usually use a local brand of shredded Sharp White Cheddar. You can also omit the cheese entirely for a dairy-free option, and substitute a pinch of sea salt instead.
-
Stir gently and continuously until the cheese is melted and loosely blended in the eggs.
-
Remove from the pan and serve.
