Frequently Asked Questions About Beet greens with eggs
How do you make beet greens with eggs?
Beet greens with eggs are made by sautéing chopped beet leaves until tender, then adding eggs and cooking them through. You can soften onion in the pan first, but add the greens before the eggs because they need time to wilt.
