Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 cups (500 mL) mixed tender greens (parsley, dill, baby arugula)
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt, divided
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) butter
- 8 organic eggs
- 2 Tbsp (30 mL) milk or cream
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) black pepper
- 1 cup (250 mL) sourdough breadcrumbs
- Avocado oil spray
- 8 large romaine or butter lettuce leaves
Directions
01
In small skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Add garlic and toast until golden, then stir in greens and cook until just wilted. Season with 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt and lemon zest. Set aside.
02
In another skillet on low heat, melt butter. Whisk eggs with milk, remaining 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt, and pepper, then pour into the pan. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until eggs are creamy and just set.
03
In dry skillet over medium heat or in oven at 375 F (190 C), toast breadcrumbs with 2 - 5 second spritz of avocado oil, until golden and crisp.
04
Spoon scrambled eggs into large romaine- or butter lettuce-leave cups. Top with sautéed herby greens and sourdough crumbs. Serve warm.
