ingredients
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil, or vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 bunches curly green kale
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- Kosher salt, as needed
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 5 Handsome Brook Farms Pasture Raised Organic Eggs
- 1 lemon, zested, for garnish
- Freshly grated parmesan, for garnish
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large cast iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring often, until golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, stem the kale, thinly slice the stems, and roughly chop the leaves, keeping the stems and leaves separate.
Step 3
To the caramelized onions, stir in crushed red pepper, kale stems, and a heavy pinch salt. Cook until the stems have softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 4
Add half of the kale leaves, 2 tablespoons water, and a pinch of salt. Cook, covered, until slightly wilted, 2 minutes. Add the remaining kale leaves, another 2 tablespoons water, and a pinch of salt. Cook, covered, until slightly wilted, 2 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the cream and adjust seasoning with salt. Make 5 wells in the kale and crack an egg into each. Season each with a pinch of salt. Bake for 5 minutes, until the whites are just set.
Step 6
Garnish with grated lemon zest and Parmesan, then serve.
