Spicy Eggs

Spicy Eggs and Kale

I’m not a big Kale eater, but it is one of those leafy green vegetables we should all be eating and here is a great way to disguise kale in your breakfast with some spicy flavors added to it.

Add some protein-rich eggs are then nestled into the bed of kale, where they gently simmer to perfection. A finishing garnish of red pepper flakes adds the perfect amount of contrasting heat. This recipe serves 4 people.

Ingredients:

  • 2 Tbs. unsalted butter
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 bunches kale, tough stems removed, leaves roughly chopped
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 tsp. Sriracha sauce
  • 6 sundried tomatoes
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 4 eggs
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste

Directions:

In a large fry pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the green onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add half of the kale and sauté, stirring frequently until it begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining kale and repeat.

Add the broth, the 1/2 tsp. Sriracha sauce and the 1/4 tsp. black pepper.

Stir in the sundried tomatoes, lemon zest and juice.

Simmer stirring occasionally, until the kale softens, about 6 minutes.

Using the back of a spoon, create a pocket for each egg in the kale. Crack 1 egg into each pocket.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and season the eggs with salt and black pepper.

Cover the pan and let the eggs cook until almost opaque, 4 to 5 minutes.

Turn off the heat and let the eggs rest, covered, until done to your taste. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and serve immediately.
