People asked me what is the name of it that taste so good! but I wasn't sure what I call it.
It depends on how you make your eggs with these vegetables. You can call it garden vegetables with scrambled eggs, sunny side, or omelet! You can make it with whatever your own style of eggs for breakfast!!!
Ingredients will be depend on what is in your garden or store. I have kale(green and purple),
Swiss chard, spinach, broccoli, basil, parsley, green onion, chives from my garden this morning!

Ingredients:

1/2 tsp. cooking oil (I used Ghee)
2 eggs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 to 1/2 onion, chopped
2 tomatoes, diced
3 mushrooms, sliced (optional)
And green vegetables .....
2 to 3 big kale leaves, discard stem and chopped
2 swiss chard leaves and stalk, chopped
1 handful of spinach, roughfly chopped
chives, parsley, basil, chopped
pinch of salt and pepper
your choice of hot sauce ( Tabasco, sriracha, ketchup...)


Directions:

In a medium fry pan, on the medium heat, half of ghee and saute garlic and onion for 1 min.

Add hardy vegetable first like kale, Swiss chard, spinach, broccoli, basil, parsley, chive, sprinkle with salt and pepper, stir well and cook for 1 min. Set a side!

If you want to have scrambled eggs, you can add cracked eggs on top of cooked vegetables, and mix into vegetables. Cook until eggs are done with lid on it.

Or you can make an omelet with cheese on it. Or eggs on the top of cooked vegetables. Drizzling with ketchup, or your choice of hot sauce and enjoy it!
