Ingredients (makes 2 servings)
- 1 small red onion, sliced (60 g/ 2.1 oz)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 200 g Swiss chard or spinach (7.1 oz)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter (15 ml)
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream (80 ml/ 2.7 fl oz)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (15 g/ 0.5 oz)
- 1 cup grated Swiss (gruyere) cheese, grated (115 g/ 4 oz)
- 4 large eggs
- sea salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all the ingredients you'll need. Slice the onion and mince the garlic. Grate the cheese. Roughly chop the chard (keep the stalks separate from the leaves).
Note: You can use spinach instead of chard.
- Grease a large skillet with butter and cook the onion on medium-high until fragrant and lightly browned for 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the chopped chard stalks and cook for another minute. Add the roughly chopped chard leaves and cook until wilted for 30 to 60 seconds.
- Pour in the cream and add the mustard. Add most of the grated cheese, reserving some for topping. Stir to combine and cook until it starts to simmer.
- Crack in the eggs and top with the remaining grated cheese. Cook on medium until the whites are opaque and cooked through.
- Season with salt and/or pepper to taste and serve while still warm. Serve immediately while still warm, on its own or with our 90 Second Keto Bread.
