Equipment

  • 1 Cast iron pan or skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs large
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp green onion finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup leafy greens
  • 1/4 cup cooked farro or wheat berries

Instructions
 

  • First, rinse and drain the farro. Bring the water to a boil in a medium sized pot. Add the farro and salt, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook. It’s finished when the farro is tender but still a little chewy. It should take about 15 minutes for pearled farro, 30 minutes for semi-pearled, and 45 minutes for whole.
  • Finally, drain the excess water from the pot and then fluff the farro with a fork.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and salt and set aside
  • Heat the olive oil in a cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the green onion and garlic, and sauté until soft, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the greens and cooked grains to the pan and sauté until the greens are wilted and the grains are warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Decrease the heat to low and pour in the egg mixture, gently stirring to combine it with the greens and the grains. Continue turning until the eggs are just starting to scramble and firm up, 2 minutes and then add in the blue cheese. Continue stirring for one more minute to melt the cheese.
  • Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!
