Greens Eggs (Ham Optional)

Posted on: June 25, 2026

Recipe adapted from Dr. Mark Hyman
Prep Time: 15 minutes / Servings: 6

Or Green Shakshouka: Shakshouka is a North African dish of eggs poached in a typically tomato-based sauce. This version uses lots of green vegetables and is very customizable with whatever veggies you have on hand!

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tbsp cooking oil
  • 2 small onions and/or leeks, thinly sliced
  • 8 white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch cooking greens, thinly sliced
  • 4 cups spinach or other cooking greens, packed
  • 1 red chili pepper, or jalapeño, thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup milk or coconut milk
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh herbs to taste
  • 3 ounces cheese, crumbled or shredded
  • 6 large pasture-raised eggs

Directions:

  1. Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions/leeks to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the mushrooms, stir to combine. Cover and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the milk, herbs, salt, and pepper and set aside.
  4. Remove the lid and add the greens and chili pepper. Stir occasionally while frying for 5 minutes until the greens are softened. Pour in the milk mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Create wells for each egg in using a spoon, and carefully crack an egg into each well. Increase heat to medium-high and cook for about 10 minutes or until the whites are still jiggly but set.
  6. Top with cheese, then cover and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
