Egg, Kale, and Ricotta on Toast

 


Lightly sautéed greens transform a standard egg-and-toast breakfast into a special morning meal that could also serve as a light supper. The kale adds a healthy boost of calcium, folic acid, and carotenoids, as well as vitamin K.

 

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 4 cups chopped trimmed kale (about 1 large bunch), preferably Lacinato
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 2 slices rustic bread, toasted
  • 3 tablespoons ricotta cheese
  • 2 large eggs

 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Cook garlic until barely golden, stirring frequently, about 1 minute. Add kale and the water; cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add lemon juice and salt, and season with pepper; stir to combine.
  2. Spread each slice of bread with half of the cheese. Top with kale mixture, dividing evenly.
  3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in another skillet over medium. Crack eggs into skillet, one at a time. Cook until whites are just set, about 2 minutes. With a spatula, carefully place an egg on each bruschetta, and serve.
