Kale Breakfast Pizza

If I get kale in the meal I feel like I've done some simple form of nutrition which will make everything else ok. 

I made this the other day and it was a huge hit. 

But really, how can you go wrong with pizza for breakfast? I used a Trader Joe's   whole wheat pizza dough but, as always, you could make your own. 

Kale Breakfast Pizza

Pizza Dough

Rosemary Olive Oil

Kale

Shredded Cheese

Scrambled Eggs

Lightly spread olive oil on crust, heap with kale and a light sprinkling of cheese. 

Cook at 550 or as high as your oven will go for 3-5 minutes. 

In the meantime slightly scramble eggs on stove, not fully cooked but starting to form. 

Take pizza out and top with scrambled eggs and another sprinkling of cheese. 

Bake again until brown and bubbly. 

 

Quichitas

I make up words.

It nullifies me having to spell things correctly.

Quichitas: little quiche like things.

Quichitas are a staple and favorite around here. The possibilities are endless. To see another version click here.

Here is today's recipe:

6 raw tortilla

5 eggs

couple handfuls of kale chopped

 1 cup kidney beans, cooked

1/2 cup of milk

shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings; Salsa, yogurt, avocado

Grease the muffin pan.

Cut tortillas in half. Bring ends to meet to make a funnel sort of shape and stuff into muffin cup. (It should look like a little pie crust, and it is ok if you stuff some down, you’re just lining the cup and making the crust.

If you don’t want to use tortillas skip the above step.

Divide the filling ingredients into each cup: kale, beans and cheese.

Beat eggs and milk and fill* each cup 2/3 full.

*I use a turkey baster to fill the cups with the eggs mixture.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the centers don’t jiggle when you shake the pan.

Top with salsa, yogurt and avocado if desired.

These are great for breakfast on the go if you so need.   

Kale Breakfast Bowl

Kale Breakfast Bowl

Bunch or two of Kale
Olive Oil
Nutritional Yeast
Scrambled Eggs
Black Beans  
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Bacon ~ any flavor will do;  turkey, tofu... go hog wild.....sorry
Salsa
Greek Yogurt

Obnoxious right?? Not having any quantities!?!
This is more of a "to taste" recipe and it will depend on the size and tastes of your family.

Method

Cook bacon on griddle or cover and bake in oven, 

Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Fill with Kale, not layered too thickly but bunched.
Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake the Kale at 385 (such an overlooked cooking temperature) for about 5-7 minutes, until crispy but not brown. You'll have to experiment with your oven to get your personal cooking time down.
When you take out of the oven sprinkle with nutritional yeast and salt to taste.

While the kale is cooking scramble eggs with milk. You can add the cheese to the eggs now and make cheesy scrambled eggs or you can save for later. 

And at the same time heat beans in a small pot.

Then throw it all in a bowl and serve or let everyone assemble their own like a taco bar sort of thing.
