Baked Eggs and Kale with Mushrooms

Looking for a very quick and easy dish that is healthy and tasty at the same time? This Quick Baked Eggs and Kale with Mushrooms is the perfect side dish to serve at any meal.

Serve with breakfast noodles, rice or even in wraps. We love the flavor of kale. I even got my eleven year old to eat the ‘green stuff’ because of the lovely ‘sunny side up’ eggs that lay over the nest of savory, crisped and flavorful kale.

Baked Eggs and Kale with Mushrooms

Ingredients:

• 250 gms kale
• 4 eggs
• 5 swiss brown or brown button mushrooms
• 2 cloves garlic, bruised
• 1 ½ Tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 Tbsp rice bran oil (or oil of choice)
• 1 tsp paprika powder

Method:

• Preheat oven to 230ºc /446º F.
• Rinse the Kale well. Fold lengthwise, to cut off the hard stem and discard.
• Roll the leaf up and chop coarsely. Set aside.
• Rinse the mushrooms. Remove the stem and discard.
• Cut in half and slice thinly. Set aside.
• Heat the oil in a wok, add the bruised garlic cloves and fry till golden.
• Add the mushrooms and fry for 30 seconds.
• Then add the kale and toss till the leaves wilt considerably and are tender. A minute should do.
• Stir in the oyster sauce to  coat evenly.
• Add the kale to a oven proof pan. Cast iron is ideal.
• Break the eggs over the plated kale. Do not stir.
• Sprinkle some paprika over the yolk. This is optional.
• Place in the middle rack of the oven for 5 minutes. (Oven temperatures vary, so adjust accordingly).
• (I like to bake with only the upper heating element, switched on).
• The kale should be lightly crisped in patches and the yolks just set.
• Dive into them while still warm and enjoy!

• Spinach can be used in place of kale, although the flavor and texture will be affected.
