How to Make Easy Kale Feta Egg Toast
This recipe for easy kale feta egg toast is my simplified and lightened-up version of eggs Florentine made using healthy swaps for the traditional ingredients of creamed spinach and hollandaise.
The Ingredients
- Bread. I highly recommend trying my very favorite Whole Wheat English Muffin Bread for this recipe but you may use any kind of bread you enjoy toasted.
- Eggs. My favorite way to prepare eggs for easy kale feta egg toast is sunny-side up. The runny yolk oozes over the kale and feta making it rich, creamy, and ultra-delicious. (If you’re all about that runny yolk vibe, try these Leftover Stuffing Cakes.)
- Kale. Packed with calcium, vitamin K, A, C, B6, and more, it is said that kale is one of the more nutrient-dense foods on the planet. (Pack in even more of this superfood by serving this dish with a Kale Smoothie on the side).
- Feta. A great cheese option that’s low in fat and high in protein and calcium.
TIP!
Feta is naturally pretty salty so you may want to go easy on the salt if you typically like to use a heavy hand when seasoning your eggs.
- Garlic. Cuts through the bitterness of the kale and pairs perfectly with the tangy feta and rich eggs.
- Red Pepper Flakes. Lend just the right amount of heat to this dish to give it a little extra pizzaz.
The Directions
- Toast the bread. Set aside.
- Saute the kale in a skillet until it begins to wilt.
- Stir in the garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until fragrant.
- Remove from heat, toss in the feta cheese, and cover to keep warm.
- In a separate skillet, fry your eggs, as desired.
- To serve, top each piece of toast with the kale mixture and a fried egg. ENJOY!
Storage Tips
- To Store. This dish is best eaten immediately after it has been prepared. However, leftovers of the kale and feta mixture may be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
- To Reheat. Warm the kale and feta mixture in a skillet over medium heat until heated through then serve over freshly made toast and eggs.
What to Serve with Egg Toast
- Bacon. If you’re serving this for brunch (or even if you’re not), Oven Baked Bacon is a perfect side.
- Veggies. Add more vegetables to your meal by pairing this dish with a side of Roasted Frozen Broccoli.
- Fruit. I love serving this recipe with a side of this Fruit Salad.
Garlicky power greens meet toast, meet runny egg, meet feta cheese. Dinner, consider yourself served.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sure! Everything in this recipe is gluten free, except for the toast. To make gluten free, simply swap in your favorite gluten free bread.
I have not cooked with egg substitutes personally, however, I’m sure you could swap them in for the fried egg if desired. Cook according to the package directions and then assemble as directed.
If you’re not a fan of fried eggs, you can still enjoy this recipe by preparing the eggs however you prefer. Soft-cooked scrambled eggs or poached eggs would be especially wonderful. Slice hard-boiled eggs would also be a nice alternative. Don’t be afraid to customize.

I made this today it was sooo yummy!!!!
I’m so happy to hear that Graci! Thanks so much for trying the recipe and taking time to leave your review here.
Cannot wait to make this. In the photos, the eggs look so perfectly thick and round. Did you use a small pan so they would not spread? Is it your English muffin bread in the photo? Thanks!
Thanks, Helen! Yes, my English muffin bread is in the photo! To cook the egg so it would stay neat, I cracked it into a small bowl, gently poured it into a skillet, and cooked it over very low heat. I also put a lid over the pan so it would steam the top. I hope that helps! Enjoy!
Erin, thank you for sharing this recipe. I made it and LOVE IT! I will definitely repeat this recipe again. I was lucky to have all the ingredients on hand.

Fantastic! Had all the ingredients readily available. Always looking for ways to use up the kale since it comes in such a large bag. Nice kick from the red pepper flakes. Might add a touch of lemon next time.

Hi Alexandra! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
This was so good, way better than we expected. We had it on sourdough toast, used extra garlic, and topped it with Parmesan cheese. Sending to my sister and saving for times we have guests!
