Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Brush 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil over a medium rimmed baking sheet, enough to coat the baking sheet. You can also use cooking spray. Set baking sheet aside.
- Toss the chopped kale with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on the kale and use your hands to massage the oil into the kale. Spread kale on baking sheet.
- Push the kale around so that you have 6 holes in the baking sheet. Crack one egg inside each of these holes.
- Bake kale and eggs for 5 to 10 minutes, until the egg whites are no longer runny. Start check the eggs after 5 minutes to see if the whites have settled. If you're using a dark baking sheet, the cooking time will be shorter. Different ovens distribute heat differently, so the cooking time can vary.
- Pull the baking sheet out of the oven. Sprinkle chopped sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the kale and egg bake with toast.

Steps:
- For the eggs: Position an oven rack towards the bottom of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
- Heat a 10-inch saute or cast-iron pan over medium-low heat with the olive oil. Sweat the shallots until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the kale and saute until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the green chiles, olives, chicken stock, anchovy paste and garlic and bring to a simmer. Braise, covered, until the kale is tender and the liquid has been almost fully absorbed, about 10 minutes.
- Spread the mixture flat in the pan and make 4 wells to place the eggs. Lay a basil leaf in each well. Add an egg to each well on top of the basil leaves and sprinkle everything with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the sun-dried tomatoes and feta.
- Bake on the bottom rack until the eggs are set but still runny, about 10 minutes.
- For the toast: Meanwhile, toast the bread in a toaster and rub with garlic cloves, then spread with the butter. Grate Pecorino over the eggs and sprinkle with chives, then serve with the toast.
SAUSAGE, EGG AND KALE CASSEROLE
Finding a brunch dish that feeds a crowd can be a challenge, but this large-scale frittata does just that by layering sausage, kale and fontina with cream-thickened eggs. Use any fresh sausage you like (chorizo, merguez, or hot pork sausage work well), and swap in mild Swiss chard or peppery mustard greens in place of the kale. You can prepare this dish the night before serving by cooking through Step 5 and layering the sausage, vegetables and cheese in the baking dish. Let it warm up slightly at room temperature before adding the eggs, then bake as directed. Baking times will vary depending on how cold or warm the dish is, as well as its depth and ingredients, so keep an eye on the eggs; they should be just set in the center.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Generously butter a large 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
- Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add sausage and cook, stirring to break it up, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish, spreading it in an even layer.
- Add 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Add red onion, salt it lightly and cook, stirring frequently, until it starts to take on color, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish and arrange evenly on top of the sausage.
- Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet and heat over medium. Add kale, season it lightly with salt and pepper, cover and cook, occasionally tossing with tongs until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish and arrange evenly on top of the onions. Top with the grape tomatoes and fontina.
- Whisk together the eggs and cream in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. (If making ahead of time, wrap the baking dish and egg mixture separately and refrigerate until needed.)
- Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the baking dish, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until the eggs are just set in the middle, 25 to 30 minutes. (Increase the baking time by about 15 minutes if the components were refrigerated ahead of time.).
- Broil until the top is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Aleppo, if using.

BAKED EGGS WITH KALE, BACON AND CORNBREAD CRUMBS
This Southern riff on bacon and eggs comes together quickly and with just a few ingredients. Using a store-bought corn muffin to make the toasted cornbread crumbs is a quick shortcut that gives this dish its star power. (Try using these crumbs as croutons in a kale Caesar salad, too!) Curly kale, collard greens, Swiss chard or a combination may be used in place of the Tuscan kale. For a vegetarian-friendly version, this recipe can be made without the bacon: Just sauté the garlic, onion and greens in 3 tablespoons olive oil, and add an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the cornbread crumbs on a sheet pan and toss gently with the olive oil. Season lightly with salt, and bake in the prepared oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until toasted. Set aside to cool.
- Strip the kale leaves from the stems and roughly chop the leaves, discarding the stems. Place the leaves in a colander and rinse thoroughly (no need to dry).
- Heat a large 12-inch cast-iron or ovenproof stainless-steel skillet over medium. Add the bacon, if using, and cook, tossing occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes, until browned. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel and set aside. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pan, add the onions and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned and tender. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, being careful not to let the garlic scorch.
- Add a large handful of kale to the pan, along with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. As the kale wilts, begin tossing it with tongs and adding more handfuls until all the kale is added. Add the water and vinegar, and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing often, until the kale is tender. Return the bacon to the pan and toss.
- Use a spoon to create 6 small hollows in the cooked greens. Carefully crack an egg into each, sprinkle each one with salt and pepper and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the egg whites are just set. Sprinkle a handful of cornbread crumbs over the greens and eggs, and serve with additional cornbread crumbs on the side.
Tips:
- Use fresh kale: Fresh kale provides the best flavor and texture to the egg bake. If using frozen kale, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before using.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure to use a baking dish that is large enough to accommodate all of the ingredients without overcrowding. This will help the egg bake cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked until they are just set, but not overcooked. This will prevent them from becoming rubbery.
- Add your favorite toppings: Feel free to add your favorite toppings to the egg bake, such as cheese, bacon, or vegetables. This will help to customize the dish to your liking.
Conclusion:
This kale and olive egg bake is a delicious and nutritious breakfast or brunch dish that is perfect for a crowd. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking with different toppings. The egg bake is also a great way to use up leftover kale and olives.
