Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 2 cups chopped fresh kale, stems removed

  • ½ cup diced onions

  • 1 red bell pepper, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon paprika

  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or butter.

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, then sauté onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.

  • Add red bell pepper and kale, cooking for 3–5 minutes until kale softens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes until just combined.

  • Stir in the sautéed vegetables and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella into the egg mixture.

  • Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup mozzarella on top.

  • Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until eggs are fully set and the top is golden and bubbly.

  • Allow casserole to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables for best texture and flavor.

  • Customize with additional vegetables or herbs as desired.

  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
