Hey guys! Hope your week is going well! Things have been super crazy around here lately. We are preparing to move, and my second half-marathon is coming up on Sunday. Yikes! Speaking of races, there are only two days left to enter my Spartan Race entry giveaway. Also, here’s a link to get 15% off of a race entry just in case you don’t win.
Now, on to the recipe of the day.
We eat a lot of eggs at our house, so I love finding and creating new recipes for breakfast. I came across a Kale and Chive Egg Muffin recipe over on the Ancestral Chef’s blog and thought that it sounded good. Instead of making muffins, I decided to just pour it into a baking dish and make it a casserole. Not as cute, but just as tasty!
I decided to make mine with baby spinach instead of Kale. I love kale, but I was more in the mood for spinach that day. I seasoned this with some of my Redmond Garlic Salt, which gave it a really good flavor. My husband thought it was a little on the salty side, but I thought it was just right. I am a bit salt lover though, so you can adjust the amount depending on your preferences.
I’d never used coconut milk in any of my egg dishes before, but I will definitely be doing it from now on. The addition of the coconut milk made the eggs so nice and light!

I haven’t used chives very much in my cooking before, but I plan to start. They add such great flavor to dishes!
