- Prepare the Ingredients:
- Chop the onion and garlic.
- Thinly slice the cabbage.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- If using, thinly slice the bell pepper.
- Cook the Vegetables:
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Add Cabbage and Mushrooms:
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced cabbage and mushrooms (and bell pepper if using) to the skillet.
- Season with thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the mushrooms are cooked through.
- Make Wells for the Eggs:
- Use a spoon to create four wells in the vegetable mixture.
- Crack one egg into each well.
- Cook the Eggs:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Cover the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. For firmer yolks, cook a little longer.
- Serve:
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives.
- Serve immediately, directly from the skillet, or divide into portions.
Tips:
- Add Protein: For an extra boost of protein, you can add some cooked sausage, bacon, or tofu to the vegetable mixture before adding the eggs.
- Spice It Up: If you like a bit of heat, add some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce when cooking the vegetables.
- Cheese: A sprinkle of grated cheese, such as cheddar or parmesan, over the top just before adding the eggs can add a nice touch.
