GREENS AND GRAINS SCRAMBLE
This is the breakfast Sam and I probably eat most often regardless of the season. In truth, it's usually a dish we whip up as a late breakfast on weekdays when we're both working from home and most emails have been returned. It's wonderfully versatile and allows you to use up any leftover grains you have from previous meals, folding in leafy greens for a bit of color. In that sense, think of it more as a template rather than a hard-and-fast approach. Any leafy greens and most grains will work, although I veer away from small, delicate grains like amaranth because they can get lost in the dish.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and kosher salt; set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the green onion and garlic and sauté until soft, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the greens, grains, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté until the greens are wilted and the grains are warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Decrease the heat to low and pour in the egg mixture, gently stirring to comingle them with the greens and grains. Continue stirring until they're softly scrambled, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the chives, and season with pepper.
- Serve hot with a sprinkling of flaky salt on top, and crusty bread, toasted English muffins, or warm corn tortillas alongside.

Steps:
- Make the sage-chile butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add sage and red-pepper flakes. Simmer until sage is crisp, about 3 minutes.
- Make the eggs and greens: Heat a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Swirl in oil. Cook mushrooms with 1/2 teaspoon salt until golden and tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in garlic, then greens and water. Cook, stirring, until greens wilt. Add unsalted butter, and stir until melted.
- Push greens to make 4 wells. Crack 1 egg into each. Season with salt. Cook for 4 minutes. Let stand until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes. Drizzle with sage-chile butter. Garnish with cheese.
Tips:
- For the perfect sunny-side up eggs, cook them in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Baste the eggs with the hot oil to help them cook evenly.
- To make fluffy scrambled eggs, whisk the eggs in a bowl with a splash of milk or cream. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- For a quick and easy omelet, beat two eggs in a bowl. Add your favorite fillings, such as cheese, vegetables, or meat. Cook the omelet in a non-stick pan over medium heat until cooked through.
- To make poached eggs, bring a pot of water to a simmer. Add a splash of vinegar to the water. Crack an egg into a ramekin or small bowl. Gently slide the egg into the simmering water. Cook the egg for 3-4 minutes, or until the white is set and the yolk is still runny.
- To make hard-boiled eggs, place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover the eggs with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10-12 minutes, depending on how hard you want them to be.
