Ingredients

• 100g kale
• 1 shallot
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 8 eggs

Method

You’ll need: oven · muffin tin · chopping board · knife

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (160 °C fan) and grease 12 holes of a muffin tin with butter.
2. Strip the kale from the stalks, wash it and chop it finely. Dice the shallot.
3. Fry the shallot and kale in the olive oil for 4 minutes until the kale wilts, then let both cool a little.
4. Whisk the eggs, soured cream, paprika, salt and pepper. Crumble the goat's cheese and roughly chop the walnuts.
5. Divide the kale, goat's cheese and walnuts between the holes, pour the egg mixture over the top and bake the muffins at 180 °C for 20 minutes until set.
6. Let the muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes, loosen them from the edge with a knife and serve warm.

Good to know

Twelve little omelettes at once, without standing at the hob. Kale, goat's cheese and walnuts sit in the holes and the egg mixture sets in the oven. You can bake them the day before and briefly warm them up in the morning.

Swaps

Kale → leaf spinach (fry for only 1 minute). Goat's cheese → feta. Walnuts → pumpkin seeds (nut-free). Soured cream → crème fraîche.

Cooking tips

Fill the holes only three quarters full, as the eggs rise in the oven. The muffins are easiest to remove from silicone moulds.

Allergens
