Greens and Grains Scramble

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.

Stirring in grated Parmesan cheese or a creamy chèvre is always nice. For a splurge in the late fall or early winter, I can't think of a much better way to begin the morning than cooking up a handful of chanterelles in a bit of butter and folding them into the eggs.
