Description

A simple yet flavorful one-pan meal featuring crispy kale and a perfectly cooked egg. Ideal for busy mornings or solo dinners, this dish is quick, satisfying, and endlessly customizable.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 packed cups kale leaves, chopped
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large egg
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese (optional)


Instructions

  1. Place a small skillet over medium heat and let it preheat.
  2. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
  3. Add chopped kale to the skillet. Season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Press the kale down and create a shallow well in the center.
  5. Crack the egg into the well and reduce heat to medium-low.
  6. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and cook for 4 to 6 minutes until the egg white sets and the yolk remains runny.
  7. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes or parmesan if using.
  8. Serve hot, either directly from the skillet or on a plate.

Notes

  • Use baby kale for a faster cook time and more tender bite.
  • Make sure the kale is completely dry before cooking to ensure crispiness.
  • Add a splash of water and cover to steam the egg gently.
  • Pair with toasted bread for a more filling meal.
