Green Eggs and No Ham......Yummy Egg Recipe

Garlicky Sauteed Mustard Greens in Eggs....








While I was growing up my Italian Nana always made the very best eggs. She added everything and anything to them.
Following is the recipe of one of her creations. I slightly adapted the original recipe.....I hope you enjoy it!!!

Serves 12

2 Dozen large brown fertile eggs (fertile eggs are better for you)
2 bunches of mustard greens or you can use any kinds of bitter greens such as Broccoli Rabi, dandelion greens or any other bitter greens. You can even use spinach if you desire.
3-4 large cloves of Elephant garlic (elephant garlic is much larger than regular garlic so be sure to use it if you want the full flavor )
1 cup of milk
1-2 tsp red pepper flakes
Sea Salt to taste
Black coarse pepper to taste
4 Tbsp cold pressed olive oil
1 cup of finely shredded Reggiano Parmesan cheese
2 loaves of whole grain rustic/crusty bread

Directions:
Crack all your eggs into a bowl and add salt and pepper to taste. Then add your red pepper flakes, milk and Parmesan cheese, whisk it all together. Wash up your mustard greens then dry. Slice or tear them into strips then place them aside. Heat your olive oil in a frying pan. Crush your garlic or chop it very finely then add it to the olive oil. Brown the garlic slightly then add your mustard greens to the pan. Saute them in the garlic until the are soft. Once the greens are cooked add your eggs. Cook until your eggs are cooked but be sure not to dry them out by over cooking. Be sure to be moving the eggs around as they cook so they stay loose. This makes it so much better.

Once the eggs are done serve them with some of your whole grain bread. Crusty bread is always the best to serve with this dish. If you want to spice it up a bit add some home made salsa to the top of it. Or if you don't have any home made salsa on hand top it off with any of your favorite salsa that you do have on hand. Enjoy!! This dish is just as delicious warm but can also be served cold.
