Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Intensity: Easy
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or your favorite variety)
- 4 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional for extra flavor)
- 4 large eggs
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat Skillet:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Cook Onions and Garlic:
- Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Mushrooms:
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Cook Cabbage:
- Add the thinly sliced cabbage to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add Soy Sauce (Optional):
- For an extra layer of flavor, stir in the soy sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Create Wells for Eggs:
- Make four small wells in the cabbage and mushroom mixture. Crack one egg into each well.
- Cook Eggs:
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 5-7 minutes. If you prefer firmer yolks, cook a bit longer.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
- Serve:
- Serve the savory cabbage and mushroom egg skillet hot, directly from the skillet, or transfer to serving plates. Enjoy as a hearty breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
