Kale And Tomato Eggs Benedict With Berries Food

KALE AND TOMATO EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• For the Hollandaise sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon warm water, mustard, lemon juice and cayenne pepper in a blender and process until combined. Scrape out and set aside.
• For the eggs Benedict: Fill a wide pot with about 3 inches of water. And the vinegar and bring to a low simmer.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the Canadian bacon and shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 4 minutes. Add the kale, remove from the heat and stir until the kale wilts, about 2 minutes. Season with pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
• Toast each English muffin in a toaster oven or under a broiler until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Top each with a tomato slice and toast until the tomato is just slightly warm, about 1 minute. Top each muffin with the Canadian bacon-kale mixture. Crack each egg into a mug and slip into the simmering water. Cook until the whites are at desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on each Benedict. Drizzle with Hollandaise and serve.

EGG, KALE, AND TOMATO BREAKFAST WRAPS WITH HUMMUS

Steps:

• Cut away and discard the stem from the center of each kale leaf. Coarsely chop the kale into 1-inch pieces. It will look like you have a lot of kale but it will cook down considerably.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, shallot, garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes, if using. Sauté until the tomatoes and shallot soften, about 4 minutes. Add the kale and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Toss with 2 wooden spoons until the kale wilts but is still bright green, about 2 minutes. Stir in the basil. Remove from the heat.
• Fill a wide saucepan with enough water to measure 2 inches deep. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Break each egg into a separate tea cup. Turn off the heat under the saucepan. Immediately slide each egg from its cup into a different part of the water (the whites will spread out). Let the eggs stand until the whites are set and the yolks are still very soft to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using tongs, toast each tortilla directly over high heat until beginning to blacken in spots, about 15 seconds per side. Put the warm tortillas on plates. Spoon 1 tablespoon of hummus on each tortilla and spread to cover, leaving a 1-inch border. Divide the kale mixture over the hummus.
• Using a slotted spoon, lift each egg from the water, wiping excess liquid from the bottom of the spoon with paper towels. Put the eggs on top of the kale. Slit the yolks and press on the eggs a bit so the yolks begin to run (this will make them easier to eat). Fold up the bottom of each tortilla and then fold in the sides, leaving the wraps open at the top. Serve.

LOWER CARB KALE EGGS BENEDICT

Steps:

• First, make the hollandaise: Add the egg yolks to a blender with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Blend on high for 30 seconds, until totally mixed. Adjust the blender speed to low and slowly drizzle in the hot melted butter. The sauce will start to get very thick. Add the mustard, black pepper and cayenne and mix until combined. If it becomes too thick to blend, squeeze in the juice of the other half of the lemon and try again. Put the lid on the blender and keep warm.
• Crack the eggs into separate small ramekins. Set aside.
• In a large nonstick skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat, turning until crisp. Remove from the skillet and drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Pour off the grease, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic. Stir and cook for 30 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the kale, sprinkle with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 3 minutes, until the kale is wilted. Set aside and keep warm.
• To poach the eggs, boil 2 quarts of water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of salt and the vinegar. Use a metal spoon to carefully stir a vigorous "whirlpool" in the water. Immediately drop 2 of the eggs into the center of the whirlpool and let them cook for about 3 minutes for a soft yolk. Use a slotted spoon to carefully lift the eggs out of the water. Gently shake the spoon and check the doneness. If they are too soft, return them to the water for 45 seconds. Repeat with the other eggs. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Place some of the kale in a neat pile on 4 plates. Top with bacon, then place the eggs on top of the bacon.
• Pour on the hollandaise and serve!

KALE, TOMATO & POACHED EGG ON TOAST

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and add the kale, garlic and chilli flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 mins until the kale begins to crisp and wilt to half its size. Set aside.
• Adjust the heat so the water is at a rolling boil, then poach your eggs for 2 mins. Meanwhile, toast the bread.
• Remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and top each piece of toast with half the kale, an egg, the cherry tomatoes and feta.
