5. Beat the eggs together with the ricotta and parmesan cheeses. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
6. Mix the cooked kale mixture into the cheese mixture. Pour into the pan lined with the pastry.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes until golden and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

* If the kale sticks to the pan while cooking you can add a tablespoon or two of water that should evaporate.
