Ingredients

• Fresh Swiss chard - 200 grams
• Large eggs - 4
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. Wash and chop the Swiss chard into bite-sized pieces, discarding the tough stems.
2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the chopped Swiss chard to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
4. In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Stir in the sautéed chard mixture.
5. In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat. Pour the egg and chard mixture into the skillet.
