For anyone who made a New Year’s resolution to eat healthier / more veggies, or if you just want a crazy delicious brunch recipe, this is for you! It’s actually impressive how many vegetables we fit into this single dish. And if you want a little extra indulgence, feel free to throw in some bacon at the beginning.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • Olive oil (the decent shit)
  • 2 zucchinis, horizontally sliced
  • 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
  • 6-8 asparagus spears, trimmed and thickly chopped
  • 2 oz kale or spinach, coursely chopped
  • Fresh chives (small handful, coarsley chopped)
  • Fresh parsley (small handful)
  • Fresh basil (4-5 large leaves)
  • 3/4 cup fresh peas
  • Chili oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan
  • Chili flakes
  • S&P
  • For topping: fresh arugula, chili oil, yogurt, and crusty bread!

Steps:

  1. Place a medium-sized dutch oven on the stove top on medium heat
  2. Drizzle enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of the dutch oven
  3. Once hot, add in the sliced zucchini and cook for 1-2 minutes – season with salt and pepper
  4. Add in the sliced shallots and sprinkle with chili flakes, cooking for 1 minute
  5. Add in the kale / spinach and asparagus and continue cooking for another minute before adding the fresh peas and herbs (chives, parsley, and basil)
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and cream cheese until fully blended
  7. Spoon the cream mixture into the greens and mix together until the cream is fully incorporated into the entire dish
  8. Season with S&P and the chili oil
  9. Make four holes or ‘wells’ into the dish and carefully crack an egg into each of the wells
  10. Top the mixture with the fresh parmesan and lower the heat slightly to ensure the veggies don’t burn
  11. Place the lid on top of the dutch oven and allow the eggs to cook for about 3 minutes – until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny
  12. Once the eggs are done, top again with remaining chili oil, fresh yogurt, and fresh arugula
  13. Serve with some delicious crusty bread!
