Simple Cabbage and Egg Skillet
A quick, satisfying dish made with just a few everyday ingredients. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil (or a mix of both)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup cabbage, lightly packed and finely shredded
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Warm the pan
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. -
Add fat
Add the butter, olive oil, or a combination of both. Swirl or spread it so it coats the bottom of the pan.
-
Cook the garlic
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 20 seconds, just until fragrant. Do not let it burn. -
Sauté the cabbage
Add the shredded cabbage. Cook, stirring often, for 3–5 minutes until it softens.- For extra flavor, continue cooking another 1–2 minutes until the cabbage begins to caramelize lightly.
-
Spread the cabbage
Once softened, spread the cabbage into an even, thin layer across the pan. -
Add the eggs
Pour the beaten eggs evenly over the cabbage, tilting the pan gently so the eggs spread out and coat the mixture. -
Cook the eggs
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 15–20 seconds, then gently fold the mixture over itself until the eggs are just set and fully cooked. -
Season and serve
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
Enjoy your warm, comforting cabbage and egg skillet!
