Recipe FAQs

Do you need to cook kale before adding it to scrambled eggs?

I like the heartier texture of raw kale in this breakfast scramble, but you can saute the kale for 3 minutes, or massage it by hand with a little olive oil, for more tender kale.

Does kale go good with eggs?

Absolutely! This bright leafy green pairs nicely with eggs for a hearty and satisfying breakfast idea.

Can you add kale to omelettes?

Yes, just like this breakfast scramble, kale works great in omelettes. Just be sure to chop it finely so it can cook quickly along with the eggs.
