Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the middle for even heating.
- Wash the kale thoroughly and remove the tough stems. Chop the kale into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. If some are larger, cut them into quarters to ensure even cooking.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add chopped kale and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it begins to soften and become slightly wilted.
- Spread the sautéed kale evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the kale.
- Carefully crack the eggs directly onto the kale and tomato mixture, spacing them evenly around the skillet.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the eggs, ensuring some cheese falls between the eggs.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain slightly runny.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the dish to settle.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet, with crusty bread or toast on the side for dipping.
Tips
- Use an oven-safe skillet to ensure seamless transition from stovetop to oven
- Choose fresh, organic eggs for the best flavor and richest color
- Don't overcook the eggs - aim for slightly runny yolks for that perfect, luxurious texture
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for maximum flavor (pre-grated cheese lacks intensity)
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or fresh herbs like basil or thyme
- Make sure to remove the tough stems from kale to ensure tender, delicious greens
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow flavors to meld and settle
