Creamy Kale And Eggs Recipes

CREAMED KALE

Steps:

• Blanch the kale in lightly salted water until tender, rinse in ice water, drain and cut into 1/2-inch ribbons. In a large saute pan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the kale, cream and nutmeg. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, or until the cream has reduced and thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

BAKED EGGS AND CREAMY GREENS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in top third. Generously butter four 1/2-cup ramekins; add 1 tablespoon greens to each. Break an egg into each ramekin, then top each with another 1 tablespoon greens. Drizzle each with 1 teaspoon cream; season with salt and pepper. Transfer ramekins to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Place sheet on rack and bake until whites are just set and eggs are still soft in centers, 12 to 15 minutes (start checking at 12, as they tend to cook at different rates). Serve immediately.

CREAMY KALE SALAD

Steps:

• Mix kale, red onion, and raisins in a large bowl.
• Whisk yogurt, mayonnaise, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice together in a bowl; pour over the kale mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate 2 hours to overnight. Sprinkle sunflower seeds over the salad and toss to serve.

DELICIOUS CREAMED KALE WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir kale and shallot until kale is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir mushrooms, cream, Asiago cheese, garlic, salt, and black pepper into kale mixture. Reduce heat to low and simmer until cream has thickened and mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes.

SAUSAGE, EGG AND KALE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Generously butter a large 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
• Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium. Add sausage and cook, stirring to break it up, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish, spreading it in an even layer.
• Add 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet and increase heat to medium-high. Add red onion, salt it lightly and cook, stirring frequently, until it starts to take on color, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish and arrange evenly on top of the sausage.
• Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the skillet and heat over medium. Add kale, season it lightly with salt and pepper, cover and cook, occasionally tossing with tongs until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to the baking dish and arrange evenly on top of the onions. Top with the grape tomatoes and fontina.
• Whisk together the eggs and cream in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. (If making ahead of time, wrap the baking dish and egg mixture separately and refrigerate until needed.)
• Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the baking dish, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until the eggs are just set in the middle, 25 to 30 minutes. (Increase the baking time by about 15 minutes if the components were refrigerated ahead of time.).
• Broil until the top is lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Aleppo, if using.

PEPPERY, CREAMY GREENS WITH EGGS

Steps:

• Using a fork, mix cream and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a small bowl or a 2-cup measuring glass until salt is dissolved, then stir in broth. Set aside.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet with a lid over medium. Add onion, garlic, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt and stir in the salt well with a wooden spoon (this will help onion release it's moisture, making sure it cooks but doesn't brown). Cook, stirring often, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add 1 Tbsp. water to pan followed by half of greens, stirring well (you want to get some of the greens in direct contact with the bottom of the pan). Cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Mix in remaining greens and cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and pour half of reserved cream mixture over greens mixture. Using wooden spoon, make 4 wells in greens mixture, spacing evenly apart. Crack an egg into each well and pour remaining cream mix over eggs. Cover pan with lid and increase heat to medium-low. Cook until eggs whites are almost entirely opaque but yolks are still runny, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and let sit, still covered, until whites are completely cooked, about 2 minutes. (If the bottoms of the eggs seem to be cooking faster than the tops, just turn off the heat, keep the lid on, and cook the tops with the residual heat. If you want more firm egg yolks, just simmer or keep the lid on for a little longer.)
• Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper and drizzle generously with oil over the top. Serve with toast.
