Ingredients

WHAT YOU NEED

  • 8 large eggs
  • ¼ cup skyr or Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 4 cups of lacinato “dinosaur” kale (loosely packed), ribs and stems removed, and roughly chopped
  • ½ cup of red onions (loosely packed), thinly sliced
  • 10 Castelvetrano olives, pits removed and roughly chopped
  • 1 Roma tomato, diced
  • ¼ cup oil (avocado or olive oil) 
  • 1 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 Tsp. salt 
  • Pepper to taste
  • A pinch of flaky salt (optional)
  • Dill, cilantro, and/or parsley (for garnish), finely chopped

EQUIPMENT

  • Cast iron skillet or another non-stick oven-safe skillet for stove-to-oven cooking

Instructions

HOW TO MAKE IT

  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs until fully beaten. If including the optional skyr or Greek yogurt, incorporate it into the eggs. Set aside.
  • Put a cast iron skillet or another non-stick oven-safe skillet on medium-high heat on the stove. And set the oven to 425°F.
  • Add the oil to a preheated skillet, followed by the onions, sauteeing until the onions are translucent and picking up a bit of color.
  • Toss in all of the kale and half of the salt. Cover for 1 minute.
  • Uncover, mix well, and let the kale and onions cook undisturbed until the kale begins to char and the onions take on a deeper color.
  • Whisk in the remaining salt into the egg mixture.
  • Create a hole in the middle of the pan and add the butter.
  • Once the butter has fully melted and the bubbles subside, pour the egg mixture into the hole.
  • Turn off the heat and add the tomatoes and olives throughout. Season with pepper.
  • Place the skillet in the preheated oven and cook for 15 minutes. Cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes if the center is still loose. Once the center is slightly firm, remove from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Serve topped with flaky salt and herbs alongside buttered toast or grits.
