Serve this high-protein egg and kale bake for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Each serving has approximately 33 grams of protein, 24 grams of fat, and 15 grams of carbohydrates. It is also very high in two key fat soluble nutrients—vitamins K and A—and it provides a high amount of vitamins B2 and B12—both needed for energy metabolism and ATP production. If you are serving this recipe to children who may need additional carbohydrates to start the day, consider serving with a banana or a handful of berries, or even a high-fiber flax muffin.

1 large bunches kale chopped

We love this and make it regularly, although we modify it a bit. It is too cheesy as written for my family and we make it in our 8" cast iron skillet. We blend about 12 oz cottage cheese with 8 eggs and the green onions, then put a nice layer of cooked veggies at the bottom of the skillet (greens or whatever we have on hand) and sprinkle on about 1/3 cup of parmesan, before pouring on the egg mix; we skip the cheddar. Cooking time stays the same. We eat it as a main, side or snack, and it never lasts long!

Such an easy recipe to make and very tasty. I didn't have tarragon but I used a hefty amount of fresh chives and loved how it turned out. This recipe can easily handle more of your favourite veggies and/or herbs. We will make this frequently. Thank you so much Ali!

SO good! My teen loves this-now I can feed her more protein in the morning. Made it twice already in 3 weeks. Used half egg whites.
