Prepare the Cabbage:
- Start by shredding or chopping the cabbage into bite-sized pieces.
- If you’re using onion and garlic, finely chop them.

Cook the Cabbage:
- Heat olive oil (or butter) in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the onion and garlic (if using) and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the cabbage to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 7-10 minutes until the cabbage is soft and slightly caramelized. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Scramble the Eggs:
