Tip from Ellie:

Swap in any leafy green for the kale, such as spinach, collard greens or Swiss chard, and feel free to use mozzarella or soft goat cheese instead of feta.

Preparation Steps:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion saute for 2-3 minutes until onion is translucent.
  2. Add in zucchini and chopped bell pepper. Saute for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add kale to the pan and saute for about 1 minute, until slightly wilted. 
  4. Add in tomato sauce, thyme, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, adjusting for taste. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring regularly.
  5. Using the back of a spoon, make a “well” in the sauce mixture and crack the eggs into the sauce. Next, sprinkle with crumbled cheese and cover the pan with a lid. Turn heat down to medium-low and simmer.
  6. Let cook until egg whites are done (around 5-10 minutes), making sure not to overcook.
  7. Remove pan from heat, and top with fresh parsley, cracked pepper, and an extra drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy hot and serve with a side of freshly toasted whole wheat toast!
