Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, then stir in the chopped kale, cooking until wilted.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet, spacing them evenly among the greens. Cover and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny.
  5. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes before serving.
