Instructions: How to Make the Cabbage Breakfast Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- Chop the Cabbage and Vegetables:
- Start by finely shredding the 1/2 head of small cabbage. Grate the carrot and slice the green onion thinly. If using, chop the dill or cilantro.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, beat the 2 eggs. Season with black pepper to taste. Add 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flourand mix well until combined.
- Add the Vegetables to the Egg Mixture:
- Add the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, and sliced green onion to the egg mixture. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly.
Step 2: Cook the Cabbage Mixture
- Melt the Butter:
- In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Cook the Cabbage Mixture:
- Add the cabbage mixture to the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly golden.
- Add the Ham (Optional):
- If you’re using 4 thin slices of ham, cut them into small pieces and add them to the skillet during the last couple of minutes of cooking. Stir to combine.
- Season and Add Cheese:
- Season the mixture with 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, salt, and additional black pepper to taste. Sprinkle generously with Gruyère cheese and let it melt into the mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and the cheese is melted.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
- Fry the Eggs:
- In a separate skillet, melt a little butter and cook the 4 eggs to your liking—whether it’s sunny-side up, over-easy, or fully cooked. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
- Plate the Cabbage Mixture:
- Divide the cabbage mixture among 4 plates.
- Top with Fried Eggs:
- Place a fried egg on top of each portion of the cabbage mixture.
