Kale...what do you do with Kale?

Every time I get a gigantic bunch of kale in my bountiful basket I ask myself this question...what do you do with kale???  Luckily there are these things called pinterest and food gawker.  I found two recipes that I didn't really have all the ingredients for, and made much more than little old me needed...but It gave me enough inspiration to create some of my own kale recipes.  I am only going to give you one of the recipes, because the other one was just a little bit too over the chaotic line to expose my fine friends to.  So, presenting the kale and egg bake!!!  dun duh da dun!!!!!  (sorry about the pictures, I was too lazy to find my camera, so went for the camera phone....)


Kale and egg bake



5 eggs

½ bunch of kale, chopped (get those stems out…they are bitter and tough)

1 tbs heavy cream

½ cup cheese ( use what is available, I used part sharp cheddar, part parmesan)

3 cloves of garlic minced

2 ounces chopped ham

Dashes of salt, pepper and I threw in some All



Chop and saute the kale and get it slightly wilted.  Once it is sauteed, mix all together and put into 4 individual ramekins.  Cook at 375 for 20 minutes.  Let cool for 5 minutes.  You can put some plastic wrap over the egg and ramekin and put in the fridge.  You can put it in the microwave for 1 -2 minutes…but no longer!!  



Enjoy!!
