Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F Degrees. Butter each gratin dish lightly.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Sauté leeks until wilted, for 4-5 minutes, in medium heat. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add kale and continue to sauté for 2 minutes until kale is softened.
- Gradually whisk in the half and half, stirring constantly. Let it come to a boil. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes or until it thickens. Season it salt, and pepper.
- Take it off the heat.
- Evenly divide sautéed leeks and kale mixture among 4 small gratin dishes. Sprinkle them evenly with Gouda cheese.
- Using the back of a spoon, push filling to the sides creating enough space in the middle for the egg.
- Crack eggs into individual bowls, taking care not to break yolks. Gently, pour eggs from cups into each gratin dish, centering yolk in the middle.
- Place the gratin dishes in a deep baking tray and fill it with enough water to come half way up the size of the gratin dishes.
- Carefully transfer them to the oven. Bake them for 15-20 minutes until the eggs are cooked to your liking. * After the first 15 minutes, keep a close eye on it as eggs can easily go from over easy to over hard.*
- Season with salt and pepper. (I also like to season them with hot sauce, red pepper flakes and chopped parsley.)
- Serve immediately with toast.
