  • Sauté the Veggies: Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped red onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until soft. Add the baby greens and roasted cauliflower. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes until the greens are wilted.

  • Cook the Eggs: Push the veggies to the side or transfer them to a bowl. In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed, then crack in the eggs. Cook them the way you like—sunny side up is great here. Season with salt and pepper.
