Instructions

Wash and roughly chop the wild greens. Mince the garlic cloves.
~5 min - 2
In a small saucepan, toast the walnuts over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and roughly chop.
~5 min - 3
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper until well combined. Crumble the feta cheese.
~2 min - 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
~1 min - 5
Add the chopped wild greens to the pan. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until wilted. Add the lemon juice and stir.
~5 min - 6
Push the greens to one side of the pan. Pour the whisked eggs into the empty side of the pan. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are almost set.
~3 min - 7
Gently fold the wilted greens into the scrambled eggs. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese and cook for another minute until the cheese is slightly softened.
~2 min - 8
Serve the scramble immediately, topped with the toasted walnut crumble and a drizzle of the remaining olive oil.
Tips
- If you can't find specific wild greens, a mix of baby spinach and arugula can be a good substitute, though the bitterness will be less pronounced.
- For a smoother crumble, pulse the toasted walnuts in a food processor a few times. Don't over-process, as you want some texture.
