Ingredients

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chopped kale
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Other Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce or salsa
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Cooking spray (for greasing ramekins)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the egg bakes.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they become soft and fragrant.
  3. Cook Kale: Add the chopped kale and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the kale is wilted and bright green.
  4. Prepare Ramekins: Spray two oven-safe ramekins with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Spoon 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce or salsa evenly into the bottom of each ramekin.
  5. Layer Ingredients: Divide half of the kale and onion mixture between the ramekins, followed by half of the crumbled feta cheese. Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over, then add the rest of the kale mixture on top.
  6. Add Eggs and Season: Crack one egg into each ramekin, place the remaining feta cheese over the eggs, and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  7. Bake: Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the eggs are cooked through but still have a slightly runny yolk.
  8. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm. This dish pairs wonderfully with crusty bread on the side.

Notes

  • Use marinara sauce for a traditional Mediterranean flavor or salsa for a southwestern twist.
  • Cooking time for eggs can be adjusted for firmer yolks if preferred.
  • Substitute feta with goat cheese or mozzarella for different cheese profiles.
  • To make it vegetarian but gluten-free, serve with gluten-free bread or skip the bread altogether.
  • Adding a pinch of smoked paprika can enhance the smoky flavor of the dish.
