With Easter just a few days away I wanted to share with you a great weekend breakfast/brunch recipe that can just as easily serve one as it can a big crowd.
I think some might call this a green Shakshuka but I’m keeping things simple and calling it kale, spinach and mushroom baked eggs, because, well that’s exactly what it is.
If you follow me on Instagram you know that I am a bit of a Yolk perv….just to clarify for anyone getting a weird creepy feeling while reading that, I love taking photos of a runny yolk slowly oozing out. I mean come on, how good does the runny yolk in that photo above look.
Ok enough of the creepy egg talk, back to this awesome recipe. If you hate the idea of crawling out of bed to spend time in the kitchen cooking in the morning then don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.
You can sauté all of the veggies a day ahead, and then the morning of just toss it all in a skillet, crack in the eggs and bake for 10 minutes. You could also make a batch of the veggies on Sunday and microwave small portions with an egg cracked on top throughout the week, so easy right?
This is great eaten on its own, topped with avocado or served on grain free bread. It is also one of those dishes that you can enjoy at any time of day, from breakfast or brunch to dinner.

- 3 cups chopped mushrooms
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups kale shredded
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 cup almond milk (or other milk of choice)

- Add in the mushrooms, sprinkle with salt and let cook for about 7 minutes until they begin to brown and soften.
- Add the kale, spinach, almond milk, thyme and mustard to the skillet, cover with a lid and let cook for about 8 minutes until the greens have completely wilted and most of the liquid has evaporated.

- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Another great recipe. Tasty and no fuss. We didn’t have spinach so used savoy cabbage instead. We also increased the amount of vegetables. It took a bit of time to boil down the milk, so we would probably use a bit less next time. The eggs also continued to cook after we took the pan out of the oven after 9 minutes, so 8 would have been perfect.
Delicious!
Great fun to make, would probably use half the milk 150ml max plus half the thyme as it was a little powerful but non the less great and looked pleasing too.
Hi. If I can’t have almond milk…. what would you suggest for this recipe? Thank you!
Any type of milk alternative would work, Coconut if you are grain free, otherwise rice milk or oat milk etc would also work.
Made this for breakfast yesterday. So good! Thanks for the recipe.
So happy to hear you enjoyed it!!
