How to Make Cabbage and Eggs
1. Cook the Cabbage
Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until it begins to soften. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
Add the shredded cabbage, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together and cook for about 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage becomes tender but still has a little texture.
2. Add the Eggs
Make three small spaces in the cabbage mixture and crack an egg into each space. Alternatively, you can whisk the eggs separately and pour them over the cabbage.
Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs reach your preferred level of doneness.
For scrambled-style cabbage and eggs, simply stir everything together and cook until the eggs are set.
3. Finish and Serve
Sprinkle fresh parsley or green onion over the top.
Serve immediately while warm. You can enjoy it on its own or with a slice of toasted bread for a more substantial breakfast.
