I’ve posted many recipes calling for sautéed greens – a little olive oil and garlic with spinach, kale, chard, collards. All the greens you can name taste good with olive oil and garlic. If you want to really raise it a notch, add a couple of shallots, some onions, or leeks. A fine combination of flavors that can start your day with a warm dish, provide a tasty lunch, or even an easy dinner when paired with eggs. Wash the greens, remove the ribs, and chop or tear the leaves.
I like fried eggs myself but if you want to cut calories and fat, try poaching eggs to nestle in your greens. Add a crusty slice of bread and your meal is complete. To make a week of really fast breakfasts, saute a huge amount of greens and keep in the refrigerator. Each morning warm some and add poached eggs or a dollop of yogurt for a quick start to the day.

Yum, Green eggs!
Looks lovely and I’m sure it tastes lovely!
it is tasty!
I’m pretty leery about eating greens with all the e coli outbreaks but this is a doable and very tasty sounding idea. I am actually using onion and garlic in a pan but it’s on top of a pork chop, lol. I love your recipes and good idea about keeping some fresh greens ready to go. This is an excellent breakfast idea.
I’ve only heard of bad salad greens; I’ve heard nothing about kale or other greens to saute. Wash all the greens well and dry. The problem is the pre-washed salads have been found to have the ecoli on them. It really is tasty.
These look healthy — and tasty too!
they are tasty!
Looks yummy and healthy! I might substitute spinach for kale (not a fan of kale)! 🙂
I understand. I tend to buy more baby kale than the fibrous mature stuff and spinach is my favorite green. Use whatever strikes your fancy. Just remember spinach and baby kale shrink. Hope you enjoy it!
Yum! This is my kind of meal!
it is good – Happy Sunday!
Looks like a perfect breakfast! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party.
