This dish is a simple yet flavorful combination of eggs and cabbage, enhanced with the aromatic depth of garlic. The preparation begins with a subtle sauté of minced garlic in a mix of butter and olive oil, creating a fragrant base that infuses the dish with rich, savory notes. The finely shredded cabbage is then added to the pan, where it is cooked until tender and slightly caramelized. This caramelization process imparts a natural sweetness and depth of flavor to the cabbage.
Once the cabbage has softened and achieved a light golden-brown color, beaten eggs are poured over the mixture. As the eggs cook, they gently envelop the cabbage, forming a cohesive and hearty blend. The result is a comforting and nutritious dish where the eggs provide a creamy texture that contrasts beautifully with the slightly crispy cabbage.
Seasoned simply with salt and pepper, this dish is versatile and can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of sides. It offers a satisfying balance of flavors and textures, making it a perfect choice for a quick breakfast, a light lunch, or a simple dinner. Serve it immediately to fully enjoy the contrast between the tender cabbage and the soft, fluffy eggs.
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp butter or olive oil I like a combination of the two
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 cup lightly packed cabbage finely shredded
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION:
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Add in the butter and/or oil and spread it in the pan.
- Add in the garlic and let it become fragrant for 20 seconds or so.
- Add in the cabbage and cook, stirring frequently, until it softens, about 3-5 minutes. I like to cook mine until it is beginning to caramelize, which can take a minute or two longer.
- Spread the cabbage out in a thin layer.
- Pour in the eggs, tilting the pan a bit to spread them out.
- Let the eggs cook for about 15-20 seconds and then fold them over gently until they are cooked through.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately!
Enjoy!
