Start to Finish Time: 30 minutes

  • 1 medium red onion, halved and sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound chicory, rinsed and coarsely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded Pecorino Romano
  • Freshly ground black pepper

In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute onion and red pepper flakes in oil 5 minutes (don't brown the pepper). Stir in chicory and garlic; saute 10 minutes or until greens are tender. Gently break eggs over greens. Cover saucepan and reduce heat to low. Cook 4 minutes, or until whites are cooked through and yolks are slightly runny. Using a large spoon, carefully scoop up each egg with a portion of greens and place in a pasta dish. Sprinkle with Pecorino Romano and black pepper to taste.
