Greens and Grains Scramble Recipe

Greens and Grains Scramble Recipe

  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 green onion, white and light green parts, finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 heaping cup / 240 ml well-packed chopped leafy greens (such as kale, Swiss chard leaves without ribs, or spinach)
  • 1/2 cup / 120 ml cooked whole grains (wheat berries, farro, barley, or millet)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Flaky salt
  • Crusty bread, toasted English muffins, or warm corn tortillas, for serving
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and kosher salt; set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the green onion and garlic and sauté until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the greens, grains, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté until the greens are wilted and the grains are warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Decrease the heat to low and pour in the egg mixture, gently stirring to comingle them with the greens and grains. Continue stirring until they're softly scrambled, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the chives, and season with pepper.
  3. Serve hot with a sprinkling of flaky salt on top, and crusty bread, toasted English muffins, or warm corn tortillas alongside.
