I don't want to be a Fat Guy any more but I still want to eat like a guy.
Greens, Eggs and Ham
Created by Steve,
Description
Green eggs and ham was one of my favorite stories growing up and greens were always part of my diet growing up so it's no wonder that I love this recipe. You can leave out the ham as the mushrooms add plenty of flavor but I like for sentimental reasons.
Ingredients
At a glance
Makes
4 Servings
12 oz spinach, kale or collard greens washed and drained
4 slices ham or Canadian bacon
4 poached eggs
12 oz mushrooms sliced (white, cimini or shitake)
1 medium onion sliced thin pole to pole
1 clove garlic minced
1 tsp oil
Optional
4 slices of whole grain toast
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Red pepper flakes
Methods/steps
- Heat the ham by either quickly frying in a non-stick skillet or using a microwave. I usually use a skillet without any oil. Set aside until reading to serve.
- Cook the mushrooms in the oil over medium heat a few minutes until they start to shrink and brown. Add the onions and stir for 3 minutes until starting to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and stir for 30 second until fragrant. Add the greens of choice, a 2 T water, stir well and cover. Spinach takes about 3 minutes and collard greens or kale will take 5 to 6 to cook through.
- Layer 4 plates each with a slice of toast (if using), a layer of ham or Canadian bacon, 1/4 of the greens mixture and top with a poached egg.

Guys, you can eat beef and still lose weight but you have to choose your beef wisely. This is a great recipe for cooking a low fat steak and packing plenty of flavor into it. |
Additional Tips
If using nutmeg add it ass soon as you add the greens. If using red pepper flakes add it along with the garlic.
