Ingredients
1 small cabbage, thinly sliced

1 small onion, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped parsley or green onions

Instructions
Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cabbage to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage becomes tender and lightly caramelized.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Pour them over the cooked cabbage.
Gently stir the eggs with the cabbage until softly scrambled and fully cooked, about 2–3 minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley or green onions and add grated cheese if desired.
Serve hot with toasted bread, roasted potatoes, or enjoy it on its own for a quick and satisfying meal.
