I’m kind of at a loss of what to say about this egg bake. It’s one of those dishes so simplistic that it’s hard to fully describe the depth of flavor and taste because it just doesn’t make sense.
Does that even make sense? You feel me, I know you do.
There’s kale, lots of FEH-TA, some sauce and two eggs. So you’ve got your vegetables, your dairy, fruit (tomato sauce totally counts as fruit) and protein all in one cute little ramekin, bowl or whatever you want to bake it in.
Making it reminds me of lasagna with all it’s pretty layers.
Start with the sauce as your base,
and then layer,
layer some more,
just a littttle more,
and voila!
This is my go to single lady dinner on the nights Ulysses works late. With a crusty piece of bread to soak up the runny egg and the melted feta, it’s near perfection.
Ok, add some red wine to that too.
There’s a million combinations of greens and cheese you could play around with on this. You could even add sausage if that’s your thing. Go crazy.
| Kale & Feta Egg Bake |
- 5-6 large leaves of kale, washed, trimmed and chopped
- 1/2 a medium onion, chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 tablespoons marinara sauce, divided
- 1/3 cup crumbled feta, divided
- 2 eggs
- salt & pepper
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, saute onions, garlic & olive oil for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
- Add kale and red pepper flakes and saute another 2-3 minutes until kale is wilted.
- Season with salt & pepper to taste.
- Spray an oven safe ramekin with cooking spray and spoon 2 tablespoons of sauce into the bottom.
- Next, add half the kale & onion mixture, then half the feta, remaining 2 tablespoons of sauce, then the remainder of the kale.
- Crack 2 eggs on the top and sprinkle remaining feta on top of that.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until eggs are fully cooked but still runny.
- Serve warm with crusty bread.
PS- I went with longer side swept bangs. It’s pretty much the definition of non-committal.

Feta is something I need to keep on hand – when I buy it I seem to not use it, when I want it I don’t have any! I’m thinking this would be great with spinach.

Love the flavor combo, kale and eggs is something I eat nearly everyday. I will definitely be trying this out in my new small ramekins!
This is officially dinner tonight!

I make something similar to this on a weekly basis, but I use chard or spinach and whatever cheese I have on hand. I love it with gruyere!

Glad you went with the bangs:) This looks like the perfect single lady dinner. My boyfriend would definitely miss the meat.

I love this! I’ve never made eggs this way, but it looks perfect for an individual meal. Or maybe even a smaller version for each of my kids? That would be awesome! Thanks for the inspiration – I think I’m going to try my own version for lunch today

I’m drooling all over my keyboard right now. This looks amazing! I love feta with eggs. It’s my second favorite omelette cheese (after goat). But the drippy eggs AH that just makes it even better!
Caitlin recently posted..Christmas Eve…Two Weeks Later?
With the exception of the kale, I have all of these ingredients on hand. I’m definitely bookmarking this recipe!

Jordan refuses to eat this so it is my go to meal when he is out. I never thought to add healthy greens. Great idea and I will be trying this out next time.
Emily @ Life on Food recently posted..3 Things Thursday
Yum. I have some fantastic feta that is just begging to be baked with some eggs now. Eggs for dinner is the best. Especially when it is so nicely contained.

Love it! I am binging on kale this week. I totally understand the need to scale back dinner when you have a night to yourself!

I just got the bowl at the Le Creuset outlet by me. I could’ve done some serious damage in there!
This looks so good! I LOVE feta. It’s definitely one of my favorite cheeses- I always have a huge tub of it from Costco in my fridge.

Oh man. I made this last night and it was soooo good. It tasted like pizza, except pizza isn’t this good. So healthy and easy to make too!
Awesome, glad you liked it! I almost made it for dinner last night too but then I ate a whole can of roasted chickpeas instead
This looks really, really good. And so healthy!
