Healthy Kale and Eggs
I was chatting with my nephew recently about easy ways to boost protein and sneak more leafy greens into everyday meals. This recipe grew out of that conversation—pulled from a few inspirations and my own mission to get more kale into my routine. It’s endlessly adaptable, too. Add a handful of toasted pumpkin seeds for crunch, swap in spinach if that’s what you have, or mix in whatever veggies are calling your name. The beauty of this dish is that it never has to taste the same twice, which is perfect for anyone who likes a little variety in their week.

-
Season: Stir in garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add water as needed until the kale becomes tender.

Add the Feta: Fold in the feta cheese so it melts slightly into the greens.

Bake: Transfer the skillet to a 350°F oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
