    Simple Cabbage and Eggs - This quick, easy, and wallet-friendly meal has become my favorite recipe to make for lunch or a light dinner!

    Scrambled eggs with green cabbage recipe

    Hello, dear readers.

    I feel sad that I haven't been able to give this blog the attention it deserves the past year or so, as this blog is like my fifth baby!

    2020 has been one of the hardest years of my life. I'm sure that's the case for many of you as well.

    While the political and worldly aspects are definitely stressful, I've personally been trying to overcome an onslaught of health issues.

    Shortly after Miki's birth, I began experiencing a great deal of pain along with myriad other symptoms, and it has yet to resolve itself. I'm currently in the process of trying to figure out exactly what's happening.

    I tell you this not for sympathy, but to help you understand my absence here. I've mentioned some of this before, but I guess I wanted to update you all a bit and let you know that I'm still working on things.

    I'll never abandon this blog!

    It has been such a huge part of my adult life, and I will always treasure it. I appreciate each and every one of you that has subscribed and actually read what I write.

    The intimacy of blogs, food blogs in particular, seems to be a thing of the past. It's all about rank now, which saddens me, as many of my favorites have removed the personalization that drew me to them to begin with.

    On Oatmeal with a Fork, I hope to never lose that.

    Some of you have been with me for years, and I so value the 'relationships' I've built with you. It is my goal to get better, and post more of the recipes I have created this past year!

    Low carb eggs and cabbage dish

    Simply cabbage and eggs

    Today's recipe is one of those simple meals that seemed almost TOO simple to post, but it's so good!

    I've been enjoying this immensely lately as either a quick lunch or light dinner. The other night, I paired it with a quinoa salad, which made a very nice complement!

    I think a side of brown rice or maybe a baked sweet potato would both be nice accompaniments.

    My personal taste is to saute the cabbage in a combination of butter and olive oil, but you can use all of one or the other if you like.

    I'd love to know what you think if you try it!

    This quick, easy, and wallet-friendly meal has become my favorite recipe to make for lunch or a light dinner!

    Course: Entree
    Cuisine: American
    Keyword: Anti-candida, Grain-free, Sugar-free
    Servings: 1 serving
    Calories: 268kcal

    Equipment

    Non-Stick Skillet
    Glass Mixing Bowl
    Whisk

    Ingredients

    • 1 Tbsp butter or olive oil I like a combination of the two
    • 1 garlic clove minced
    • 1 cup lightly packed cabbage finely shredded
    • 2 eggs lightly beaten
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
    • Add in the butter and/or oil and spread it in the pan.
    • Add in the garlic and let it become fragrant for 20 seconds or so.
    • Add in the cabbage and cook, stirring frequently, until it softens, about 3-5 minutes. I like to cook mine until it is beginning to caramelize, which can take a minute or two longer.
    • Spread the cabbage out in a thin layer.
    • Pour in the eggs, tilting the pan a bit to spread them out.
    • Let the eggs cook for about 15-20 seconds and then fold them over gently until they are cooked through.
    • Remove from heat and serve immediately!

      I do about 2 cups of cabbage and 3 eggs. I also add about 1-2 TBS of Braggs Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce), and to me, that is what makes it so amazing, BUT, I should try making it without that as well, as your recipe seems to be a hit! Thanks so much! 🙂

      This was the recipe I needed right at the time I needed it. Cabbage was all the raw vege I had on hand just coming home from a trip and I wanted a super food and didn't want to go to the store. I did have some frozen pasture raised chicken sausage and sautéed a little of that while the garlic was softening. My husband I both loved it and it will be in my menu rotation from here on out! It's really easy and keto too!

        Yum, I love the idea of chicken sausage with this. 🙂 Thanks for the comment, Cissa, I'm happy you both enjoyed it!

      I am strongly committed to no waste so when I had. A little cabbage left over and needed a light meal this recipe caught my eye. I didn't have a full cup of cabbage so added a little grated carrots and a few thin slices of green pepper. After cooking I remembered I had some garlic yogurt coriander leaf low fat dressing I had made earlier so topped it with that ....RESULT! So tasty, thanks for the recipe ...first time I visited your website and I will be back also will definitely make this tasty quick low calorie meal again! Thank you!

      This Simply Cabbage and Eggs recipe caught my eye at Miz Helen's Country Cottage "Full Plate Thursday." The combination sounds intriguing and the recipe seems so easy... I'm definitely going to try it. I love cabbage! I'm going to try the extra minute or two to caramelize the cabbage as well for the extra flavor. I'll make the recipe as directed, then make it a second time adding slivered shallots (a favorite flavor enhancer I often add to my scrambled eggs). Should work well at the step sautéing the cabbage. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. I pray you will find ways to cope with the health challenges that may be continuing. Have a blessed spring!

      Thank you for this recipe - I looooove cabbage!! I apologize if you have mentioned this, but consider looking into getting a true Lyme and Mold exposure test if you haven't already. Sending you much love - being sick with no answers is very, very hard, especially when you just want to be the best person you can be. Hang in there!!

        Hi Stephanie! Thanks for the thoughts, I have shown to have 'chronic' Lyme, but I think your suggestion about the mold is a good one! Hopefully 2021 will be a better year for all!
