Ingredients

• 1 bunch Broccoli rabe
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
• 4 Large eggs
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends of the broccoli rabe and remove any tough stems. Wash thoroughly under cold water and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli rabe for 2 minutes, then drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain again and pat dry.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and slightly golden.

Step 4

Add the red pepper flakes and blanched broccoli rabe to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli rabe is tender. Season with salt and black pepper, then transfer to a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. For firmer yolks, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 6

Serve the eggs on top of the cooked broccoli rabe. Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.

Step 7

Enjoy immediately while warm.
