Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 –3 kale leaves destemmed and chopped
  • 2 –3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon pesto or crumbled feta
  • Sliced avocado to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add chopped kale while still slightly wet from rinsing. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook 2–3 minutes until wilted and glossy.
  2. Remove the lid and form two or three small wells in the kale. Crack an egg into each pocket. Cover again and cook 4–5 minutes, or until egg whites set and yolks reach your preferred doneness.
  3. If steam runs low, add a teaspoon of water and re-cover briefly. Transfer everything to a warm bowl. Top with sliced avocado, pesto or feta, and red pepper flakes. Serve as is or over crispy potatoes.

Notes

This bowl works well on busy mornings because the greens wilt fast and the eggs cook directly on top, saving time and dishes. Customize it with feta, pesto, or avocado, or add tomatoes and mushrooms for deeper flavor and extra nutrients.
