Broccoli Rabe with Eggs & Goat Cheese

Broccoli Rabe with Eggs & Goat Cheese

I love Vegetables!  This wasn't always the case of course, the love came after lots of research and trial and error and learning how to cook them in a way that would bring out their best flavors and textures.  Then the love part happened.  So yes I love Veggies, but Broccoli Rabe, well that is at a whole other level for me.  It doesn't feel appropriate to say I'm in love with it, but I long for it, miss it when it's gone and savor every second when I have it (shhhh, don't tell my husband - ha!)   My kids actually giggle at the sounds I make when I eat it, which I imagine mirrors Bill Murray's dinner scene from What About Bob to some extent.  A food that is delicious, healthy and makes you laugh?  It can't be beat!

Broccoli Rabe sautéed in Olive Oil & Garlic

I always have it the same way - boiled in just a little bit of water until softened, then sautéed in extra virgin olive oil with loads of fresh grated Garlic and Red Pepper Flake - and it is always amazing.  Full warning here for newbies - this is a strong flavor, but it's not to be missed - you gotta try it!!  Ok, this is how I did it...

Broccoli Rabe with Eggs & Goat Cheese

So I made the Broccoli Rabe last night (as described above), so it was in the fridge ready to go!  I heaped 1.5 cups of it onto my plate (that equals 3 servings of veggies!) and topped with 2 Large Scrambled Eggs.  I crumbled 1-2 Tbsp of Goat Cheese on top, and drizzled all of it with 1 tsp of hot sauce.  Yum Yum Yum.  Insert my son's giggles here :)
 
Enjoy!
