Pick the mustard greens, finely chop the thick stems, and separate them from the leaves.
Boil the stems for 3 minutes, then add the leaves and boil for 2 more minutes.
Drain the greens, squeeze out excess water, and chop coarsely.
Soften the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes.
Add the mustard greens, salt, and black pepper to the pan and saute for 5 minutes.
Beat the eggs, add them to the pan, and cook for 3 minutes until set.
Drizzle with lemon juice and serve the mustard greens saute optionally with yogurt and toasted bread.
💡 Tip: Do not leave mustard greens in the blanching water too long; their bitterness softens, but their peppery aroma also leaches away.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve mustard greens saute like an early spring breakfast with lemon, optional yogurt, and toasted bread.
