Kale Baked Eggs with Dukkah | Naturally Ella

I have a problem with greens. I always buy them and usually by the end of the week I have a small amount left that doesn't work well for huge amounts of meals or salads. Enter this easy egg bake. I could easily eat this myself but it's also great to split with someone- just add some fresh fruit or a bit of toast. This kale egg bake comes together in about 20 minutes, making it a great weekday breakfast.

Kale Baked Eggs with Dukkah

2 servings

A delicious and easy baked egg dish that uses kale as a base. The kale melts under the heat but still holds a bit of texture.

Prep Time: 5

Cook Time: 15

Calories: 312kcal

1 cup shredded lacinato kale
¼ cup thinly sliced shallot
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
3 to 4 tablespoons dukkah (see note)

Heat oven to 400˚F with a rack in the middle of the oven. Place the shredded kale and sliced shallot in a small baking dish, roughly 6” to 8” wide.
Pour 3 tablespoons of the cream over the kale and sprinkle in the salt and pepper. Toss the kale with the cream until well coated.
Make two wells in the kale and carefully crack an egg in each. Spoon the remaining tablespoon cream mixture over the egg whites.
Place the dish in the oven and bake for 10 to 14 minutes, until the egg whites are set and the yolk is to your liking.
Sprinkle the dukkah over the eggs before serving. Sprinkle chili flakes and serve with a sprinkle of a salt if desired.

Notes

Kale Baked Eggs

variations

Greens: Other hearty greens work as well: chard, collards, and turnip greens work well. You can also do shaved asparagus or zucchini.

Grains: Add 1/2 cup or so of cooked grains in with the kale. I love to add quinoa, farro, or millet.

Herbs: I keep herbs pretty minimal with kale but I occasionally use parsley, thyme, or tarragon.

Explore Kale

Kale is such a versatile green. It's heartier enough that it can hold up to heat while growing and through the cooking process but just tender enough that it can work in a salad. I tend to grow and use lacinato kale because I find the texture better throughout the cooking process. However, I recommend trying a couple different varieties to see which you like best.
