Buttered Cabbage and Eggs
Tender sautéed cabbage in butter with dill, topped with steamed eggs whose yolks stay slightly runny — a quick, delicate breakfast or lunch that scales easily.
Pure and light with a tender buttery crunch, this delicate breakfast or lunch starts with some pretty hearty ingredients. Salted cabbage is gently sautéed in butter until it softens and becomes glossy while keeping its color, then dill is stirred in for its gentle perfume. The eggs are cracked in and steamed, covered, until the whites are just set and the yolks are still somewhat runny, begging for buttered toast. If you want this to serve 4, double everything. If you only want to cook 1 egg, halve the recipe and use an 8-inch skillet.
