Greens: Use whatever green veg you have - zucchini kale, spinach, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, collards, swiss chard, beet greens, radish/turnip greens, etc.

Instructions

Place a large, wide skillet on medium-high heat.
Add extra virgin olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
Toss in the onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for another 3 minutes. Add in the cumin.
As the onion and garlic are cooking, prep your greens. Chop the kale, beet greens, chard, zucchini - whatever you're using. Then add them to the pan with salt and pepper. If your pan is not that wide, add them in batches.
You want them nice and wilted, this takes about 5-7 minutes. You can definitely add less or even add more, just adjust the "wilting" time.
After 5-7 minutes, make little "wells" or holes and crack in the eggs. We only used 4, but you can add up to 8, if your pan is big enough.
After a minute, cover the pan for 3-5 minutes so the eggs can cook quickly. If you don't have a cover big enough, just use an ill-fitting one, it's fine.
If you like the yolks really running, watch them so they don't overcook.
Serve with whatever toppings you love.
