Ingredients
  

  • 1 quart of chopped washed greens (or 1 pint, cooked) - escarole, kale, chard, collards, or whatever you prefer
  • 2 scapes or 1 clove garlic
  • 2 t olive oil
  • 1/2 c broth
  • 1/4 - 1/2 t red pepper flakes
  • 4 eggs

Method
 

  1. Prepare the greens. Wash and chop the scapes. (Or peel and mince garlic.)
  2. Heat oil in a large pan. Add scapes (or garlic) and saute until soft.
  3. Add the greens. Use tongs to toss them in the oil, covering the vegetables with the flavored oil.
  4. Add broth, and simmer until they start to soften and shrink. Add pepper flakes and stir them in.
  5. Carefully break the eggs into the pan on top of the greens. Lower the heat, and cover the pan. Simmer until the eggs are cooked to your taste. (3-5 minutes.)
