I love the power greens mix of chard, kale, and spinach I got at Costco. It may come as no surprise that it’s one of my favourites. And I used feta and mozzarella to make a flavorful cheesy breakfast casserole.
The first time I made my own recipe, I made it 4 times in a row, so it’s my favorite recipe! Then one weekend when my foodie friend Sean stayed over at my house when he was in town and gave him leftovers from breakfast, he gave the recipe a thumbs up. That’s when he realized he had to take a picture and share this recipe on his blog!
I actually used a pound of power greens mix for this, which helped balance out the generous amount of cheese! If you want to start healthy with vegetables, please try it!

(This is just a summary. Scroll down for the full printable recipe with nutritional information.)
- I buy my Power Greens mix from Costco, but a quick google search reveals that there are many companies that make similar greens mixes.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the vegetables all at once.
- Then use a large turner and turn it over and over until all the greens are wilted.
- Place the wilted vegetables in a large glass or ceramic casserole dish that has been sprayed with olive oil or nonstick spray.
- Spread the crushed feta cheese, mozzarella cubes, and sliced green onions over the wilted vegetables.
- Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste spike seasoning (affiliate link) Or, if you don’t have spikes, use your favorite seasoning blend that goes well with eggs.
- Beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are well mixed and pour over the greens and cheese.
- I like to use a fork to “stir” the mixture so I can see all the ingredients on top of the casserole.
- Bake at 375°F for about 40-45 minutes or until desired browning and serve hot.
- After making a large casserole like this, I use this container with a snap-tight lid to store leftovers in the fridge so I can enjoy this as breakfast for several days.

material
-
1 lb of power greens mix (see note)
-
2 tsp olive oil (more or less, depending on your pan)
-
6 oz. mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (see note)
-
4 oz.feta cheese (shredded)
-
1/2 cup chopped green onions
-
Spike seasoning as desired
-
freshly ground black pepper
-
14 eggs
instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Spray a large glass or ceramic casserole dish with olive oil or nonstick spray. (My dish was 10″ x 13″. If you don’t have a dish close to that size, reduce the recipe a bit.)
- Heat a little olive oil in a large nonstick skillet with the sides elevated. Turn the heat up to high and add the greens all at once, then immediately turn over with a large turner until the greens are tender. (This should only take a minute or two. Watch carefully.)
- Place the wilted vegetables in the bottom of the casserole dish.
- Cut the mozzarella into cubes about 1/2 inch square (alternatively, you can use grated mozzarella, but I prefer cheese nuggets that melt from the mozzarella cubes).
- Crush the feta cheese and slice the leeks into 1/2 cup pieces.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, feta cheese and sliced green onions over the vegetables.
- season the mixture spike seasoning (affiliate link) and freshly ground black pepper. (Don’t use salt, feta is salty enough.)
- Beat eggs until yolks and whites are well blended and pour into greens and cheese mixture. Use a fork to gently ‘stir’ the mixture so that the vegetables, eggs and cheese are evenly distributed.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until mixture is fully set and top is browned to your liking.
- Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream if desired.
- This will keep in the refrigerator for at least a week and reheat well.
Note
