Prep 25 mins | Cook 50 mins | Serves 6

Step 1 Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes until just tender. Add ham and kale and cook, tossing often, for 5 minutes until almost tender. Cover and cook for 2 minutes until kale wilts. Set aside to cool.

Stir cooled kale mixture and haloumi cheese through the egg mixture. Pour into baking pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden and just set in the centre. Stand for 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm or cold with sliced tomatoes and baby basil leaves.
