Description

Use softer greens, like spinach and arugula.

Ingredients

5 eggs
1Poundgreens (local & fresh)
3Tablespoonbutter (divided)
1 leek (large, white part only or substitute the white part of 1 bunch of scallions)
1⁄4Cupmilk (or cream)
  salt and pepper (to taste)
1⁄4Cupcheese (try grated cheddar or crumbled goat cheese)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Wash fresh greens; chop lightly. Slice leeks or onions into rounds. Melt 2 Tbs. of the butter in an oven-safe skillet and sauté over medium heat until just tender. Add the fresh greens and cover the pan to steam 1-3 minutes, until wilted. Meanwhile, mix together the eggs with the milk or cream. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Melt the remaining Tbs. of butter in the pan. Pour the egg mixture over and allow to cook over low heat for 1-2 minutes (without stirring). Sprinkle the cheese on top and transfer to the oven. Bake until the eggs are set and the cheese is starting to bubble, about 5-10 minutes. Serve with a fresh salad and crusty bread.
