3 tablespoons salted butter
1 cup mixed hardy greens (spinach, kale and chard, sold prepped in bags)
3 scallions, white and green parts sliced
1 jalapeño, seeded and diced small
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons prepared pesto
6 large eggs
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack
2 ripe tomatoes, sliced thick
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the hardy greens, scallions and jalapeños. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the greens have wilted, about 2 minutes.
Meanwhile, add the half-and-half, pesto and eggs to a pitcher or bowl. Whisk with a fork until well combined.
Add the egg mixture to the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until creamy curds begin to form, about 2 minutes. Add the Monterey Jack and continue to cook, stirring, until the eggs are just cooked and the cheese has melted, another 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve the eggs on top of the tomato slices and garnished with the chives.
