Cheesy, creamy kale, topped with a perfectly runny egg and pinch of seasoning. Sound good? That sentence pretty much covered the whole ingredient list. It’s so easy that I often make this for lunch, and most of the time I don’t even bother with the toast - instead I rely on the kale stalks for a bit of crunch.
I love munching on the stalks. You’d think I was some stick-thin health freak if you looked at my kale consumption alone. I do enjoy some healthier recipes but, assure you I’m not. I’m a chocoholic, cakeaholic, pastry-a-holic too, I just really really like kale. In fact I wonder what chocolate covered kale would taste like……..

🔪 How to make this creamy breakfast eggs recipe for one
Full recipe with detailed steps in the recipe card at the end of this post.
Version 3 simply involved adding more cream to help cover the kale. Didn’t really work though, it was a bit too much cream for breakfast, and the kale still went crispy.
Version 4 involved covering the pot in the oven. This stopped the kale from going crispy, but also meant the egg took ages to cook - which left me with mushy, overcooked kale.
Then, after calling myself a few names for not being able to cook a stupid egg, I realised that using a pan would be a much easier way to control the heat. Voila - version 5 of creamy eggs and kale was created, and I haven’t looked back since.
