Prep

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

Cook

2
Add the diced red onion to the skillet and sauté until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5 min
Don't let the garlic brown or it will turn bitter!
3
Stir in the chickpeas, cumin, and smoked paprika. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the chickpeas to slightly crisp and absorb the spices.
4 min
4
Add the chopped kale and the vegetable broth. Toss everything together and cover the skillet for 2 minutes to allow the kale to wilt down. Remove the lid and stir.
3 min
5
Using the back of a spoon, create four small wells in the kale and chickpea mixture. Carefully crack an egg into each well.
2 min
6
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
8 min
Keep a close eye on them; they can go from runny to hard-boiled quickly!
7
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with crumbled feta and fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Chef's Notes

This is a beautiful way to get your greens in first thing! If you don't have a cast iron skillet, any oven-safe pan will do. For a little extra kick, feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the onion mixture. Serving this with a side of toasted whole wheat sourdough is highly recommended for scooping up all that savory goodness.
