Sumac-Spiced Baked Eggs with Kale {Paleo}

December 19, 2016 by Faith 1 Comment

Paleo Sumac-Spiced Baked Eggs with Kale are just different enough to be more interesting than your average egg dish, but not so off-the-wall that they’re not a crowd-pleaser. Sumac adds a pleasantly tangy flavor that nicely compliments the earthy kale.

Last Friday evening, Mike and I photographed and catered a private event. It ended up being a pretty random thing for us; a friend of a friend needed a caterer and I was recommended to cook, and as a total bonus Mike was available for photography.

What was the event? A sweetheart of a guy was proposing to his girlfriend (and she said yes!) and he wanted everything to be perfect for her. The evening was a success all around and Mike and I were honored to be part of it.

While we were in the planning stages, I sent over four menu ideas for the gentleman to choose from. He chose the one that he thought his girlfriend would enjoy most, and it included this kale filling baked into buttery, flaky turnovers as part of the appetizer selection. My inspiration for those turnovers was Middle Eastern spinach pies, which have a lot of similar flavors going on. But really, for someone like me who is watching their carbs, the filling is the best part anyway. I had a lot of leftover kale and I wanted to make it into something lower-carb than pastries, so the idea of baked eggs came to mind.

We’re big fans of eggs in my house, but for some reason, baked eggs are actually a pretty rare occurrence. (Omelets and over-easy are our go-to ways to eat eggs!) But baked eggs are something truly special and deserve some time in the limelight. They’re easy to whip up, easy to pack veggies into, and you can do the yolk as soft or as hard as you like (runny for me, please).

Baked eggs make a lovely savory addition to brunch (this recipe is easy to double!), and bonus, you can make these a day ahead of time and then just bake them right before you want to serve them. Eggs really don’t get any easier!

Sumac-Spiced Baked Eggs with Kale {Paleo}
Prep time:  10 mins
Cook time:  30 mins
Total time:  40 mins
Yield: 2 servings
 
Paleo Sumac-Spiced Baked Eggs with Kale are just different enough to be more interesting than your average egg dish, but not so off-the-wall that they’re not a crowd-pleaser. Sumac adds a pleasantly tangy flavor that nicely compliments the earthy kale.
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to brush inside the ramekins
  • 4 oz kale, chopped
  • ½ cup (120 ml) chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 large cloves garlic, crushed
  • ¾ teaspoon sumac, plus more to sprinkle on top
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ⅛ teaspoon each salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons canned unsweetened, full-fat coconut milk (see Note)
  • 2 large eggs (I used Eggland's Best)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and brush the inside of 2 ramekins with olive oil.
  2. Add 2 teaspoons oil to a medium, deep-sided skillet over medium heat; once hot, add the kale and stock. Cover the skillet and cook 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook (uncovered) until the liquid is evaporated, about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Turn off the heat and stir in the sumac, coriander, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
  3. Divide the kale mixture between the 2 ramekins and pour 1 tablespoon coconut milk into each. Make a well in the kale inside each ramekin and crack an egg into each well. Sprinkle a little more sumac on top, if desired.
  4. Bake until the eggs are as done as you like them, about 20 to 25 minutes (I like my eggs with runny yolks but firm whites, so I usually cook them about 22 minutes).
  5. Serve warm.
Notes
Coconut Milk: You can use heavy cream instead if keeping this paleo isn’t a concern.

Make-Ahead: Cool the kale mixture completely before putting dividing it between the ramekins. Add the coconut milk (or cream) and eggs, and then cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. When you want to bake, let the ramekins sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before baking while the oven heats up.

Serving Suggestion to Keep it Paleo: Serve this along with a couple toasted slices of my Best Paleo Sandwich Bread!

Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently serv Pelmeni are Russian meat dumplings frequently served with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh dill. You can boil or fry them, they freeze like a dream (and they cook directly from frozen!), and they make a big batch so you’ll have a freezer stash of easy dinners for busy nights. But fair warning, these are definitely a labor of love. I made them last spring on a Zoom call with ma chérie Evelyne of @cultureatz that involved ridiculous amounts of laughter, and the shenanigans of us hand making about 100 dumplings each! I’m definitely a bad blogger for not sharing the recipe until now lol. But it’s (finally!) up and you can check it out on @anediblemosaic 🥰 —> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/pelmeni-recipe-russian-dumplings/ #dumplings #dumplingsfordays #russianfood #pelmeni #foodstyling #foodstylist #foodphotography #photography #moodygrams #lightandshadow
The other day Dan and I were at an antique store a The other day Dan and I were at an antique store and we happened to find one of the vendors who was putting out #vintage #valentinesday cards she had found in one of her storage units. 💌 These are from the 1930s/1940s! She was a third generation antique dealer and she said she still has several full rooms to sort through! (I love the treasure hunt of that, it’s like exploring in your grandparents’ attic.) Anyway, I had to buy a couple cards because they’re completely charming. #happyvalentinesday, lovelies. 🥰 #valentines #romantic #flatlay #valentinesmood #vintageprops #propstyling #propstylist #photography
#ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to mak #ad If you’re looking for a romantic meal to make for your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day this weekend, you’ve come to the right place! This meal is easy, fast (no one will guess it whips up in less than 15 minutes!), and impressive. And soooo good. 🥰
 
What’s on the menu? Pan seared chicken in a savory cream sauce. Steamed green beans. And Fresh Blends Ready to Cook Idaho Potatoes!
 
Let’s talk sides first. Steamed green beans are easy, and they round out the meal well. Or you could go with broccoli if you want.
 
The real star of the side dish show are these flavorful @eagleeyeproduce potatoes! They’re family grown in Idaho. Fresh-cut, never cooked, never frozen, with no preservatives. And they cook up easily with a one-step cooking process (just 8 minutes in the microwave, or you can do them on the stovetop to get them crispy). Check out their website to find their store locator to see where they’re available near you --> https://eagleeyeproduce.com/store-locator/
 
And now the chicken! Inspired by the famous “Marry Me Chicken”, this recipe checks all the right boxes and has all the bells and whistles. Chicken cutlets cook up quick on the stovetop, and then a luscious cream sauce flavored with garlic, fresh herbs, and sundried tomatoes cooks in the same skillet. Take a look at the recipe in the comments below.
 
Who says a beautiful, romantic meal has to be complicated, right? ❤️

This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is This small batch recipe of Red Velvet Cupcakes is the perfect dessert for you and your sweetheart this Valentine's Day, and it's even more special because it was made for a cause. ❤️

This is the 5th year in a row that Julie from @thelittlekitchn has organized the Cookies for Kid's Cancer Valentine's Event to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer, and I'm honored to be part of it.

Cancer is the top cause of death of children by disease in the U.S. There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. And the National Cancer Institute’s budget for childhood cancer is less than 4%.⁣

You can help make a difference by donating to @cookies4kids. Our goal is to raise at least $3000. Thank you to @OXO, @Mediavine and @Dixie_Crystals who have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000!⁣
