This Red Kale and Cheese Omelette for Two is something I made in August when my garden was bursting with Red Russian Kale, but this idea of using greens in an omelette is still a good one, even if you have to buy the kale. And you can use any variety of kale you like for this tasty omelette.This is really a simpler, quicker variation of the Red Russian Kale and Red Onion Savory Breakfast Squares I posted earlier, but if you’re cooking for one or two you might like this recipe even better. Everyone needs to eat more greens, and this is a tasty way to get some into your diet.
Wash and coarsely chop kale until you have about 2 cups chopped kale. If you don’t have red kale, you can use other kale varieties in this, but they may need to be sauteed a bit longer. Heat olive oil in non-stick 10″ frying pan, then saute chopped onion 2-3 minutes. Add kale and let it start to wilt.
Keep turning kale over as it wilts for 2-3 minutes, until it has reduced in size below the top of the pan. Check the bottom of the pan to see if you need a bit more oil, the pour in beaten egg and top with grated cheese. Reduce heat and cook about 10 minutes, lifting the edges of the omelette with a plastic spatula and letting the uncooked portion run under.
When the omelette is almost completely cooked but still a bit wet-looking, flip one side over the other. (Photographer error – I’m not sure why I didn’t take a photo of that!) Serves two happy breakfast eaters.

Red Kale and Cheese Omelette for Two
Eating vegetables for breakfast is a great diet trick, and this Red Kale and Cheese Omelette can help!
Ingredients:
- 5 eggs, beaten well
- 1/2 tsp. Spike Seasoning (Optional, but Spike is really good in eggs. Use other seasonings as desired if you don’t have Spike.)
- 2 T chopped onion or red onion
- 1-2 tsp. olive oil (or more, depending on your pan)
- 3 oz. chopped kale (2 cups chopped kale. You could use other greens like chard, collards, spinach, or broccoli rabe.)
- 1/3 cup grated white cheese of your choice
Directions:
- Beat eggs with Spike Seasoning in small bowl.
- Heat olive oil medium high in non-stick 10″ frying pan.
- Add onions and saute about 2 minutes, until soft but not browned.
- Add kale all at once (it will be above the top of the pan.) Let kale wilt for a minute or two, then use a large turner to turn it over so it wilts evenly and reduces in size by at least half. This will take 2-3 minutes.
- Check pan to see if you need more oil before you add the eggs, and add more if needed.
- Add eggs all at once, then immediately lower heat to low.
- Let omelette start to cook, and when you see firm edges, gently lift them with the turner and let the uncooked egg run under.
- Cook about 10 minutes, until eggs are mostly set but still wet looking.
- Then use turner and gently flip one half of the omelet over onto the other half.
- Cook 1-2 minutes more if needed, then slide omelet out on to serving plate.
- Serve topped with fresh parsley if you have parsley in your garden that’s begging to be used. This is great served with sour cream on top.
