Ingredients:
- 1 small head of green cabbage, finely shredded
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or chives), chopped
Instructions:
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Cook the Cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized, about 7-10 minutes.
- Add the Eggs: Create small wells in the cabbage mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking (soft or firm yolks).
- Serve: Once the eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh herbs and additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or on its own for a healthy meal.
