Instructions
- Cook the Bacon: Put the bacon in a cold skillet. Turn on the heat to medium. Fry until the bacon is very crispy. Remove it and let it drain on paper.

- Wilting the Kale: Add the kale to the skillet. Stir it until it turns bright green. It should shrink down in size quite a bit.

- Layer the Dish: Put the kale mixture in the baking dish. Crumble the crispy bacon over the top. Pour the egg mixture over everything evenly.

Notes
➜ Cut kale into small bites for easier eating.
➜ Always drain bacon grease before adding the cream.
➜ Use fresh garlic instead of the jarred kind.
➜ Grate your own cheese for a better melt.
➜ Do not overcook the kale in the skillet.
➜ Let the dish rest before you slice it.
➜ Cover with foil if the top browns too fast.
➜ Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
