Step-by-step

1. Prepare all the ingredients you'll need. Slice the onion and mince the garlic. Grate the cheese. Roughly chop the chard (keep the stalks separate from the leaves).
   Note: You can use spinach instead of chard.

   

2. Grease a large skillet with butter and cook the onion on medium-high until fragrant and lightly browned for 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

3. Add the chopped chard stalks and cook for another minute. Add the roughly chopped chard leaves and cook until wilted for 30 to 60 seconds.

   

4. Pour in the cream and add the mustard. Add most of the grated cheese, reserving some for topping. Stir to combine and cook until it starts to simmer.

   

5. Crack in the eggs and top with the remaining grated cheese. Cook on medium until the whites are opaque and cooked through.

   

6. Season with salt and/or pepper to taste and serve while still warm. Serve immediately while still warm, on its own or with our 90 Second Keto Bread.
