    Add the chopped greens to the pan. Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from pan and set aside.

    In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, fresh lemon juice, 0.25 teaspoon salt, and 0.125 teaspoon black pepper.

    ~2 min
  5. 5

    Add the pine nuts to the now empty frying pan (no extra oil needed) over medium-low heat. Toast for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

    ~3 min
  6. 6

    Pour the whisked eggs into the frying pan over low heat. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are just set but still slightly moist.

    ~4 min
  7. 7

    Return the wilted greens to the pan with the eggs. Crumble the feta cheese over the top. Gently fold everything together to combine.

    ~1 min

    Serve immediately, garnished with the toasted pine nuts.

Tips

  • If you can't find specific Greek wild greens, a mix of baby spinach and arugula can be a good substitute for a bitter flavor profile.
  • To prevent the pine nuts from burning, keep them moving in the pan and watch them closely; they toast very quickly.
