Super Easy Kale Feta Egg Bake

You can’t go wrong with a good egg bake. And this one is ready in less than an hour!

Ingredients for the Egg Bake

• kale – fear not the kale! Kale is such a great addition to eggs. Make sure to remove the rough stems before adding to pan.
• onion & garlic – adds flavor! But if you need to, you can omit.
• olive oil – for sauteing
• egg whites and whole eggs – we’re using a mix to lighten things up a bit.
• ricotta – this helps cream the egg bake creamy and adds additional protein.
• feta – feta is my favorite and it adds a salty deliciousness to this egg bake. If you don’t like feta, I’d recommend a sharp white cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes.
• spices & seasonings – all-purpose seasoning, salt and pepper, red pepper flakes

Why use kale?

I like the way kale holds up in comparison to spinach. It might be a personal preference but I often opt for kale in egg casserole dishes.

Not to mention the loads of nutrients you get from kale like, Vitamin A, K, B6, manganese, calcium, copper, potassium, and magnesium.

Can I add other veggies?

Yes! I would recommend adding small chopped veggies, something like diced bell peppers. You can toss those in the skillet with the kale and onions, or even add into the baking dish uncooked, which will give them more of a bite after being baked.

How to Make this Quick & Easy Recipe

• 

• 

cook the kale

Start by cooking the chopped kale down with onion and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat– this will take about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven and grease the baking pan, or use cooking spray.

whisk the eggs

You can also whisk together the eggs, ricotta and seasonings now.

Once the kale is ready, add half of it to the bottom of your baking dish. Gently pour the egg mixture into the dish and top with the remaining kale and sprinkle on feta.

bake for 40 minutes

Bake for 20 minutes uncovered, then loosely cover with foil and bake for another 15-25 minutes. Edges will be golden and middle should be set when done. Allow pan to cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

This kale feta egg bake is perfect for serving a crowd, but I know many readers love this for meal prep too! If you don’t mind reheated eggs, then this works perfectly.
