  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups broccoli, divided into medium-small florets
  • 2 cups chopped kale
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Warm the oil: Heat some cooking oil in your skillet. We recommend avocado oil for its high smoke point and minimal processing.
  2. Cook the broccoli: Stir-fry the broccoli florets briefly, then add 1/2 cup of water. Toss and wait for the broccoli to absorb the water. Add another 1/2 cup of water and cook until the broccoli is bright green and still slightly al dente.
  3. Add kale: Toss in the chopped kale and let it soften. Press the greens with a wooden spatula or the bottom of a cup to crush them a bit.
  4. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle a generous handful of grated Parmesan over the vegetables. You can skip adding extra salt, as the Parmesan adds a salty, umami flavour.
  5. Add eggs: Create wells in the broccoli mixture and pour an egg into each well. Repeat until all eggs are added.
  6. Cook: If using a cast iron skillet, cover it with a lid and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set. For a portable camping pan, let the eggs sit briefly, then carefully toss once.
  7. Finish: Sprinkle with ground black pepper for an extra kick. Serve immediately.
