This Power Greens Egg Skillet is a cheesy egg dish that will be a hit with everyone who likes eggs, red peppers, and greens! And I’m sharing this for Friday Favorites where I feature the recipes I love and would make over and over! 

This Power Greens recipe is a breakfast egg skillet inspired by Cheryl’s Eggs with Red Pepper, Basil, and Cheese. (You can use that link to see the printer-friendly version of that old recipe.) We were cooking some recipes to take new photos, and planned to make Cheryl’s Eggs to improve the pictures. But that day I had one of those 5 oz. containers of Power Greens in the fridge, and that led us down a different path.

I’m always a fan of greens for breakfast, and when I got fixated on the combination of Power Greens with eggs, red pepper, basil, and cheese, this new recipe was the result. This is quick and easy to make and I enjoyed the leftovers for breakfast for a few days.

I’m a big fan of the Power Greens mix, but you can use any type of fresh greens like spinach, kale, chard, or collards in this recipe. I hope you will give this one-pan breakfast a try!

What are Power Greens?

If you’re not familiar with Power Greens, they’re a blend of leafy greens sold already washed and ready to eat. I buy a Power Greens Blend from Costco that has baby chard, kale, and spinach, but there are other combinations as well. And power greens are also sometimes called Super Greens.

What kind of pan did we use for the Power Greens Egg Skillet?

For this Power Greens Egg Skillet we used a non-stick frying pan with high sides. You can use any type of large pan that works for cooking eggs.

How to make Power Greens Egg Skillet:

(This is ONLY a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)

1. Chop up red bell pepper and red onion into pieces that are quite small.
2. Use a large non-stick skillet for this recipe if you have one. Heat the olive oil and then cook red pepper and red onion over medium heat until they’re starting to soften.
3. While veggies cook, chop the power greens coarsely.
4. When red peppers and onions are barely softened, season with Dried Basil (affiliate link) and Spike Seasoning (affiliate link) or another seasoning blend that’s good with eggs.
5. Add the Power Greens to the skillet and stir with the hot veggies to let them wilt.
6. When veggies and greens are cooking, beat 12 eggs until whites and yolks are well-combined.
7. Pour eggs over the greens and veggies mixture and reduce the heat to medium low.
8. Cook the eggs 3-4 minutes, stirring a few times, until eggs are starting to look set.
9. Then add 1 cup of Mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese, and stir to combine with the eggs.
10. Cook eggs about 3-4 minutes more, or until they’re done to your liking.
11. Top eggs with the rest of the cheese and serve hot!
12. I’d love this Power Greens breakfast with sour cream and Green Tabasco Sauce to add at the table!

Ingredients

Toggle ingredient group

• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1/2 large red onion

• 1 1/2 cup grated Mozzarella Cheese or Monterey Jack Cheese (see notes)

Instructions

1. Chop the red bell pepper and the red onion into pieces that are quite small.
2. Select a large non-stick skillet for this recipe if you have one so that cleaning the pan won't be so difficult. Heat the olive oil and then cook the red pepper and red onion over medium heat until they're barely starting to soften, about 3 minutes. While veggies cook, coarsely chop the power greens.
3. When red peppers and onions are barely softened, season with dried basil, and Spike Seasoning (or another seasoning blend that's good with eggs) and cook about 2 minutes more.
4. Add the Power Greens to the skillet and stir the greens into the hot veggies to let them wilt for a few minutes.
5. Beat the eggs until yolks and whites are well-combined.
6. Pour eggs over the wilted greens and veggies mixture and reduce the heat to medium low. Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes, stirring a few times, until eggs are starting to look set.
7. When eggs are barely starting to set, add 1 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese, and stir to combine with the eggs.
8. Cook eggs about 3-4 minutes more, or until they're done to your liking. Top eggs with the rest of the Monterey Jack cheese and serve the Power Greens Egg Skillet hot!

Notes

You can use any combination of greens you prefer in this recipe.

Use any white cheese that melts well if you don't have Mozzarella or Monterey Jack.

If you have fresh basil, use about 1/4 cup chopped basil and add it before you add the cheese.
