Clean the kenger herb and remove the tough fibers; cut large pieces into 3 cm lengths and slice the fresh scallions into rings.
Heat the olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat and melt the butter; once the foam subsides, cook the fresh scallions for 2 minutes.
Add the kenger to the pan, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and wilt over medium heat for 5 minutes, turning occasionally.
Spread the greens around the pan and make hollows in the center; crack the eggs directly into them.
Cover and cook over medium low heat for 4 minutes, until the whites set and the yolks stay runny.
Remove the pan from the heat and rest for 1 minute.
Serve immediately with warm tandoor bread; sprinkle extra fresh scallion and black pepper on top.
💡 Tip: Remove the tough fibrous parts of the kenger; otherwise it needs longer cooking in the pan and stays grassy before the eggs set. Use butter and olive oil together so the butter does not burn and the kenger aroma deepens.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Bring the pan straight to the table and scatter thin rings of fresh scallion on top; serve with warm tandoor bread or flatbread for wrapping.
