Kale and Egg Muffins



Kale and Egg muffins
This is such an easy dish to put together that you can even involve kids in prepping. Its an easy grab and go breakfast for busy mornings as well. These taste excellent hot or cold. This is one of those recipes where you can sneak in some green veggies for the picky eaters. These were gone in no time when I served them for breakfast to my kids this morning, just don't forget to serve it with some ketch-up. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

Kale - 1/2 cup chopped
Eggs - 3
Parmesan cheese - 1/4 cup
Salt - to taste

This mixture makes 6 muffins.

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F

2. Into a blender, crack open the eggs, add the chopped kale, parmesan cheese and salt. Parmesan cheese is quite salty, add the salt accordingly.  Let the blender run for 2-3 minutes.

3. Pour the mixture into a greased muffin tin. 

4. Bake these for 20 minutes  or until the eggs are cooked through.

Tasty Tips:

1. Kale is a super food, rich in anti-oxidants and packed with calcium and vitamins A, C and K. It is called 'queen of greens'. Unlike spinach, kale holds its texture and shape even after cooking.

2. For some reason if you don't like the taste of Kale, you can replace it with spinach as well.  You can also add, veggies of your choice.

2. You can make this dish by simply whisking all the ingredients in a bowl instead of blending. I used a blender, just to make sure the kale is properly pureed into the eggs so the kids can never know whats in there :-)
