Seasonal Breakfast Scramble

Ingredients

Seasonal Produce-
1 Bunch Sweet Salad Turnips
1 Bunch of Kale (or Chard, Turnip Greens, Mustards..)
2 Summer Squash or Zucchini
10 Garlic Scapes
5 Pasture Raised Hen’s Eggs
2 TBS Grass-fed Butter

Preparation

1. Set a frying pan on medium heat and add butter.
2. Roughly chop garlic scapes, turnips and squash and add them to the pan.
3. De-stem the greens and give them a rough chop. Once the squash looks tender, add the greens on top of the other veggies in the pan. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cover the pan with a lid.
4. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them. After a few minutes remove the lid from the pan and stir the greens. Once the greens are wilted to your liking, add the eggs and scramble.
5. Turn off heat once the eggs stiffen up, and serve with breakfast sides of your liking. Pictured with local jowl bacon and local sourdough toast with strawberry butter.
