Directions

In a bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of water. Set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add the kale and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the whisked egg and grated cheddar to the kale, and mix vigorously until the eggs have set. Serve immediately with toast.

Chef Tips

This is a good way to use frozen kale, or any leftover greens.
