This is going to be the best week ever!! It’s Brunch Week!! I don’t know about you but I love brunch. Brunch food is the best! Sweet waffles, bacon, eggs, muffins, pancakes, omelets, breakfast burritos, cinnamon rolls, scones .. and the list goes on and on.
So, what’s Brunch Week all about? This is the third annual #BrunchWeek hosted by 
And this delicious cheddar cheese from 
Eating eggs with leafy greens is one of my favorite things to eat for brunch. . heck, I’d eat this for any meal of the day, it’s so delicious .. and so easy to make!
And I don’t know about you. . but I love a good, runny egg. Oh man, eggs are my weakness . .
And when they are cooked just right, eggs are like creamy butter. So freaking delicious!
You have to try this recipe!
Fried Eggs with Kale and Mushrooms
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 bunch organic kale chopped
- ½ small onion diced
- 8 oz. package mushrooms sliced
- 1 to 2 cloves garlic minced (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup cheddar cheese freshly grated
- Serve with salsa and roasted breakfast potatoes
Instructions
- Using a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat, heat the olive oil. After a minute or so, add the kale, onions, mushrooms and garlic and sauté until tender, for about 5 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Turn the heat to medium-low, and crack the eggs into the pan, on top of the sautéed kale and spinach. Alternatively, you can push the greens to make 4 wells and crack the eggs into each well. Cover with the lid and let cook for about 4 minutes, or until the yolk is cooked to the desired level of doneness, but I would not cook the egg for longer than 5 to 6 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, and sprinkle on the freshly grated cheddar cheese. Serve with salsa and roasted potatoes. Enjoy.

Yum!! I love brunch and this one looks so simple but flavorful.
Oh brunch. It truly is the best. I went through a period where I hated brunch because I was working as a cook during the brunch shift at a French restaurant in Seattle on Saturdays and Sunday. So you can imagine how busy it was (oh hello to poaching like 200 eggs!). But now I can, thankfully, enjoy brunch again! This skillet looks so fantastic, Alice and really healthy! XO
I’ve done eggs with spinach many times but never with kale. Mmm…tasty brunch!
