This budget-friendly, wallet-friendly dish makes a tasty breakfast paired with toast or biscuits. It’s just as nice with bacon or sausage as it is served alongside a juicy strip steak.
The recipe only calls for 5 different ingredients along with some seasoning. The main ingredients are eggs, cabbage and onion, and then you will also need a bell pepper, some butter or margarine, and a little salt and black pepper.
Oleo is a brand name for margarine, and you will certainly get a richer flavor if you use butter in its place. As for the cabbage, onion and bell pepper, those flavors all work harmoniously with the egg, and then you can go ahead and add more herbs, spices or other seasonings if you wish, or else keep the dish relatively simple.
In fact, it’s a really simple recipe anyway and not much can go wrong. Just make sure you stir the cabbage often as it cooks, so everything cooks evenly.
