Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (chopped) Swiss chard
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons (grated) Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly and pat dry. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with the milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the chopped Swiss chard to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the leaves are wilted and tender.
Push the cooked Swiss chard to one side of the skillet. Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture into the other side of the pan.
Allow the eggs to set slightly, then gently scramble them with a spatula, mixing them with the Swiss chard as they cook.
Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.
Optional: Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and grated Parmesan cheese for an extra kick of flavor.
Remove from the heat and divide the scramble between two plates. Serve immediately and enjoy!
