Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

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.

MEAN GREEN JUICE (FOR JUICER)

Mean Green Juice (For Juicer) image

This is the recipe for "Mean Green" juice used in the documentary "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead." I was a little nervous about trying it -- I couldn't imagine that a juice with kale in it would be palatable -- but it turned out to be delicious! That film has really gotten us into juicing.
