- 1 onion, chopped
- 6 ounces kale leaves, chopped
- 1 cup of mozzarella, grated
- 6 eggs
- sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
MAKES: 4 - 6 servings
preparation
- Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F). Heat olive oil in a pan and add the onion. Optionally, you can add 3/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Cook for 2 - 3 minutes and add the kale. Stir for about 1 - 2 minutes. If you use baby kale, cook for 1 minute.
- Beat the eggs. Spray oil in a casserole and transfer the onion and kale mix. Spread Mozzarella on top, add the eggs, and mix well. Bake until lightly brown or for about 35 - 40 minutes. Let aside for 5 - 10 minutes. Serve with a side dish or sour cream.
- You can use grated Gruyere cheese instead of mozzarella and 10 ounces of spinach instead of kale. If you use frozen spinach, thaw, chop, and dry.
