I’m not a big fan of over-easy eggs. But (and that’s a big but) baked eggs have found a place in my regular rotation of go-to meals. This dish is shockingly delicious! I actually licked my plate. I was astounded how much I loved it, especially since I don’t particularly love eggs. So if you’re looking for a terrific, easy, healthy weeknight meal or a weekend brunch casserole, give this a try. I’ve already made this twice and was thinking about having it for breakfast this weekend again! Yum.
Chop a small onion, mince 1 garlic clove, grab the olive oil, kale, spinach, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, marinara sauce, crumbled Feta cheese and a couple of eggs.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
This dish can be made in an oven proof skillet or layered in ramekins for a more elegant presentation. I decided to go weeknight casual and do it all in one pan. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute the onions and garlic for about 5 minutes.
Add the spinach and kale and saute until wilted.
This may look like a lot of greens but it will cook down quickly.
And then look like this in just a few minutes.
Remove the vegetables from the stove. If using ramekins, layer the ingredients with marinara on the bottom, then add 1/2 the greens, then 1/2 the feta cheese, repeat. Crack the eggs on top, sprinkle with a little more feta and bake.
If using the skillet method, spread the kale mixture evenly on the bottom of the pan. Spoon marinara sauce over the kale mixture. Sprinkle with half the feta cheese. Using your spatula, make a small well in the middle to add the eggs.
Add two eggs and bake until the whites are done and yolks slightly runny, about 12- 15 minutes.
Serve immediately!
The tart, creamy, saltiness of the feta combined with the greens, garlic and marinara, is just fantastic. You should give this healthy, hearty dish a try!

Now doesn’t that sound great? I hope you love it and lick the plate clean!
Have a terrific weekend! I’m going to spend Saturday with my lovely daughter and her adorable son Isaac. I hope to take some pictures – so stay tuned for grand baby updates! I have also made a big decision. I want my grandchildren to call me Gram. I’ve thought about this for a long time and have finally found a name that fits me, and everybody likes it. Who knew this was going to be such a tough decision?
Thanks so much for stopping by!

I would eat that in a New York minute and as for "I'm not a big fan of over-easy eggs" and "…especially since I don't particularly love eggs" – blasphemy 🙂

Awe, you made me grin with "Gram" 🙂 I hope that you have a fabulous weekend visit with your daughter and Isaac. <br /><br />Your eggs look perfect! I adore soft runny eggs, but not baked ones. Go figure. Maybe I just haven't managed to cook a great one in the oven yet. I'll try again, but not anytime too soon. The kale and the spinach here sound perfect to me!
