Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped leeks, white and pale green parts only (about 1/2 small)
- 1 bunch kale, stems removed and cut crosswise into thin ribbons
- Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup 2-percent Greek yogurt
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 4 slices crusty bread, toasted
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks, reduce the heat to low, and cook until softened but not brown, about 8 minutes.
- Stir the kale into the leeks and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Season the mixture with the nutmeg and some salt and pepper. Stir in the yogurt until combined.
- Make four indentations in the kale and carefully crack an egg into each. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over each egg. Cover the pan and cook the eggs until the whites are completely set and the eggs are cooked desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes for medium (runny yolk).
- Divide the eggs and kale among four serving plates, top each with about 1 1/2 teaspoons Parmesan and serve with the toasted crusty bread on the side.

Great lunch (or breakfast). If I’ve ever eaten kale I don’t recall but I really enjoyed it. Kinda like crisper turnip greens. I used green onions in place of leeks. With that, the Greek yogurt, nutmeg, and salt and pepper, the kale was flavorful. I had to turn the heat up and add a few minutes to get the eggs to set, but they turned out fine.
super easy, way to get greens in daily.
We loved this recipe! A super easy! My only advice is “ a bunch of kale” is actually more than you would think. I needed to microwave more and add, it cooks down so much. We will definitely make again! I added quartered grape tomatoes too, cause they were on the counter asking to join the fun!
Tonight is the second time time I’ve made this. Very good way to get in your greens! I love this show! My favorite show on Food network! Love all the different personalities. Not sure why a lot of you reviewers decided to rate this meal based on the first show. I’m so glad they decided to do another season! Yay for The Kitchen!
Winner!! I made this for lunch today (just two eggs). I thought it was yuuummmmy! Will most certainly make again. More than likely tomorrow 🙂
Made with a mix of kale and swiss chard, as that was what needed to be picked out of the garden. Didn’t have leeks, so I used white onions, I also added in a couple cloves of chopped garlic and 6-7 good shakes from the crushed red pepper can. I didn’t measure how much greek yogurt I ended up using, just dumped in a good size dollop from the big spoon, so it wasn’t, “creamy,” but that was okay with me. The yolks did their part in that regard. Finished it with a few dashes of Frank Red Hot once I plated it.
Thanks, Katie Lee!!
I enjoyed this recipe. I used spinach instead of kale because that’s what I had on hand. I also disdain nutmeg in savory dishes, so I used garlic. This is a great way to get more greens into your diet.
Katie Lee makes the show. At least she is a healthy cook and dang she looks great. Don’t hate on her just because ya’ll are jealous. Plus kale and egg recipes rock. Why don’t all you chubbo haters try one of her healthy recipes. Wow you might surprise yourselves!!! Keep up the great job to all the great hosts 🙂
Yum! Added more Greek yogurt as others did and a little leftover crumbled bacon. I get lots of kale in my winter CSA so this was a good change
I wound up doubling the amount of Greek yogurt and cheese to make it creamy and flavorful…. but the general idea behind the recipe is very good.
I love kale! Thanks Katie for being such a great kale advocate! Sorry GZ kale is here to stay for 2014!
