This morning on our day off from work, my husband served me this delicious dish. He calls it Eggs a la Wiggle. Ā š
For the past several months, my husband has been using his culinary gifts in creating delectable dishes containing our farm fresh eggsĀ andĀ grass-fed beef, with cheese and garden greens purchased from the local grocery store.
This morning he made his way out to our gardens to gather fresh greens, some of whichĀ he planted last season and some this pastĀ December. These beautiful greens are what you see in the above masterpiece. š
HereĀ is a gallery of the ingredients used and the process by which he assembled the final product:Ā
Gathered dandelion, sow thistle and chicory greens.
Gathered corn salad / dutch mache.
Gathered oregano.
Gathered tarragon and thyme.
Gathered wild violets (leaves and flowers).
Gathered potato / multiplier green onions.
Gathered scallions.
Washed, coarsely chopped greens. Ready to be cooked.
Browned a half pound of grass-fed beef in coconut oil.
Added generous amounts of onion powder, granulated garlic, chili powder, Lawry’s seasoned salt and rubbed sage.
Laid wild violets and corn salad as the foundation on each serving plate.
Chopped oregano and scallions. Added to seasoned beef.
Added avocado oil, salt and Italian seasoning to already seasoned beef with greens.
Floated farm fresh eggs. (No standers or floaters allowed!)
Added two small coarsely chopped onions to sauteed beef mixture.
In a separate pan, over low heat fried eggs in avocado oil.
Flipped the eggs and finished sauteing greens and beef.
Placed sauteed beef mixture over the fried eggs.
Chopped garden herbs: tarragon, thyme and green onion.
Added sharp cheddar cheese topped with the garden herbs over seasoned beef/greens mixture. Covered to melt cheese.
Served a portion (2-3 eggs) of this melted deliciousness on the bed of raw wild violets. Garnished with chopped tomato.
It was delicious! Of course, the scrumptious aroma that filled the air whileĀ it was being preparedĀ contributedĀ greatly to the dining experience.
While there were some greens that had a slight biteĀ to them, itĀ was easily masked by all the other familiar favored flavors.
What a treat! And aĀ blessingĀ to haveĀ the majority of this dish, to include the eggs, the meat and all these greens, coming from our own backyard. How cool is that.Ā š
