Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the greens and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until tender, depending on the variety.
2. Drain well and gently squeeze out excess moisture. Roughly chop large leaves.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened.
4. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes, if using, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add the cooked greens and season with salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring now and then, for 8 to 10 minutes, until rich and lightly caramelized in spots.
6. Stir in the lemon juice and fresh herbs.
7. Make 4 small wells in the greens and crack an egg into each. Cover and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
8. Serve immediately.
