Bacon Kale and Swiss Cheese Egg Scramble

When looking for good deals on produce, sale items usually catch my eye first.

The next thing I like to look for is if the produce item is bunched together in an unusually large quantity, even if it’s at the regular price.

You’ve probably noticed before how a bunch of lettuce or spinach can vary in size.  Sometimes it’s on the small side and other times it’s just huge.

Say you find a huge bunch of kale that’s over twice the regular size. 

As long as the price is the same as it would be for a smaller bunch, it’s almost like you’re getting the kale for half price when buying the huge bunch at the regular price.

This is a great way to save money on produce in addition to checking out what’s on sale each week.

Of course the challenge is always making sure you use all of what you buy.

The bunch of purple kale that I came across while window shopping for good deals in the produce section was so large that it wouldn’t fit in a plastic bag.

I almost considered putting it in a vase when I got home because it was so big and pretty. 

But instead it went in the fridge and hung out like it was in its own condo until I used it up in various recipes.

Here’s a yummy and pretty egg scramble using kale.  It tastes so good with the bacon bits and green onion.

Let’s check out the ingredients.

Kale (purple, green or your favorite type), eggs, milk, real bacon bits, swiss cheese, green onion, butter, salt and pepper. 

Here’s how to make it:

In a medium size bowl add the eggs,

and milk.

Using Mickey Mouse Hand measuring spoons,

add the…

….pepper,

and salt (the recipe will still taste delicious if you don’t have the Mickey Mouse Hand measuring spoons…maybe not as good but real close).

Whisk together…

…and set aside for a moment.

Chop the kale,

Swiss cheese,

and green onions.

Heat a medium size skillet on medium heat and add the butter.

Next, add the real bacon bits,

green onions,

and kale.

Stir together…

…and cook until the kale starts to wilt slightly (about 4 minutes).

Add the eggs and stir together with the kale mixture.

Move the eggs around with a spoon or spatula as they’re cooking.

Continue to cook the eggs and stir together with the other ingredients.  Just before the eggs are done cooking (about 3 to 4 minutes), add the cheese.

Stir in the cheese with the egg for about 2 minutes or until it melts.

Garnish with the chopped green onions and bacon bits.

Serve hot right out of the skillet.  Enjoy!
