They
say everybody gets their fifteen minutes of fame, perhaps that’s the
same for vegetables? If so, kale is certainly having its day. Kale
chips, kale smoothies, kale salads,
kale is everywhere! It’s the spinach of the 80s, in kale form.
Personally, I couldn’t be more pleased. We love our greens here—collard, kale, spinach, beet, chard.
Anything that encourages people to cook with and eat more of these
fabulously good-for-you and good tasting greens is alright by me.
Scrambled eggs, for example, are great with sautéed onions and kale.
Stir in some shredded cheese and seasonings, perfection!
I stumbled upon a recipe for cheesy scrambled eggs with kale in the cookbook, 50 Shades of Kale, which is the inspiration for this recipe. The book’s recipe didn’t work for me so I messed around with the main ingredients a bit and this is the result. Hope you like it!

Scrambled Eggs with Kale and Mozzarella Recipe
We are using mozzarella cheese in this recipe because I
just happened to have some on hand. Feel free to use your favorite melty
cheese - swiss, gruyere, provolone, cheddar. I'm using Italian
seasoning, a mix of dried herbs, but you could easily use your fresh
herbs of choice.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup of chopped onion
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 1 ounce fresh kale, destemmed and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup of grated mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (dried rosemary, oregano, thyme, basil)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Method
1 Heat olive oil in a stick-free frying pan on medium high heat. When the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and red pepper flakes. Cook for one minute.
2 Add the thinly sliced kale to the pan, toss with the onions and olive oil. Cook for a few minutes, until the kale is just wilted.
3 Lower the heat to medium. Add the beaten eggs to the pan. Stir until the eggs begin to set. Then stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning. Remove from heat and continue to stir a few times until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
