Savory Kale Dutch Baby
This Savory Kale Dutch Baby will remind you very much of a cross between an omelet and a frittata. If you’re not a fan of kale, then feel free to substitute it with spinach. I like to top mine with salsa and a little fresh cilantro. Sautéed Mushroom and Onions, maybe with a little goat cheese is nice as well. I say all of this to say…make this Savory Kale Dutch Baby your own. I love this meal because it is so simple to prepare. When you’re baking it, it will rise very much like a soufflé and then fall shortly after you take it out of the oven. The edges will be crispy and bubbly and kind of remind you of a breakfast pizza.
This is a light dish, so if you’re looking for a more filling breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, then I would suggest serving it with some other items such as hash browns, grits, toast, breakfast veggie meat, a light salad, etc.
If you’re looking for more recipes like this, I would give my Zucchini, Sun Dried Tomato, and Feta Cheese Quiche recipe a try!

Can leftovers be frozen or refrigerated?
Hi Stephanie. I’ve definitely refrigerated leftovers before for a few days. But I haven’t tried freezing them before.
So tasty! It probably would have helped had I used a 9″ pan like you suggested; instead I used my 12″ pan without thinking… so we ended up with something that might be more akin to a flatbread version of this savory kale Dutch baby! Lol. Next time I will use a 9″ pan. Delicious regardless and the young adults in my house gave it the thumbs up (and made no mention of the kale, which is something they normally don’t like). Thanks! Will definitely make this again.
Thank you so much for giving the recipe a try! And glad you and your family enjoyed it! 🙂

This is my new go-to brunch recipe. As a vegetarian, finding tasty approachable recipes using Whole Foods and seasonal ingredients that both my picky meat-eating husband and I enjoy is really a challenge.
