Chard scramble

The earthy, green flavor of chard marries perfectly with the creamy umame of scrambled eggs.  Addictive.













Prep time:  5 minutes
Cook time:  10 minutes
Serves:  2 generously

INGREDIENTS
4 eggs
4 tablespoons milk or water
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (or your favorite)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cups coarsely chopped chard leaves
salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the milk and the cheese.  Set aside.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chard, stirring, for 2 minutes or until leaves are wilted.

Turn heat to medium low and pour the egg mixture over the hot chard.  Cook, stirring slowly and constantly, for 2-4 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to the consistency you like.

Serve, seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.

Variation:  Add in a little minced jalapeno when you saute the chard.
