Cheesy scrambled eggs with onions, thinly sliced kale and shredded mozzarella cheese.
They say everyone gets their fifteen minutes of fame, maybe that goes for veggies too? If so, kale certainly has its time. Kale chips, kale smoothies, kale salads, kale is everywhere! This is the spinach of the 80s in kale form.
I personally couldn’t be happier. We love our veggies here – cabbage, kale, spinach, beets, Swiss chard. Anything that encourages people to cook with and eat more of these fabulously good and great tasting greens is fine with me.
Scrambled eggs, for example, go great with sautéed onions and kale. Stir in some grated cheese and spices, perfection!
Scrambled eggs with kale and mozzarella
We’re using mozzarella cheese in this recipe because I happened to have some on hand. Feel free to use your favorite melted cheeses – Swiss, Gruyere, Provolone, Cheddar. I use Italian seasonings, a mix of dried herbs, but you can easily use your fresh herbs of choice.
