Ingredients:
- Bread (one slice per each egg)
- Goat cheese
- Kale leaves
- Eggs
- Garlic
- Butter
- Olive oil
- Spices: salt and pepper
- Shredded prosciutto & parmesan
- Balsamic vinegar
Preparation:
Part 1: The bed of kale
Part 2: The poached egg
Note: the problem with poaching eggs is that the egg whites keep spreading everywhere. To deal with this, use some aluminum foil as follows: fold it a couple of times, then wrap it into a cylinder (like a bottomless glass, and about the same size). We'll poach the eggs inside.
- In a medium-sized pot, bring some water to a boil.
- Place the cylinder into the water. Make sure the cylinder is not completely covered (if so, discard some of the water).
- Break an egg in a small dish, then place it inside of the cylinder.
- Let the egg boil for about 4 minutes.
- Remove the egg and place on a paper tower to discard extra water.
- Repeat for each egg you want to poach.
Part 1: The bed of kale
- Tear the kale leaves into chunks.
- Slice the garlic.
- In a pan, gently fry the garlic in a bit of olive oil (till it starts to turn a darker yellow color). We don't need it garlicky, we need it to be sweet.
- Add the kale, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a couple of tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.
- Mix everything and fry for another couple of minutes.
- Remove from heat when the kale starts to loose some of its firmness, and place on a paper towel to discard some of the oil.
- Add the kale, a pinch of salt and pepper, and a couple of tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.
- Mix everything and fry for another couple of minutes.
- Remove from heat when the kale starts to loose some of its firmness, and place on a paper towel to discard some of the oil.

Part 3: Putting everything together
- Toast the slices of bread
- Toast the slices of bread
- Spread a bit of butter over the toast (while it's still warm).
- Spread a thin layer of goat cheese over each slice of bread
- Add a layer of the garlic and kale mixture over the goat cheese
- Add the poached egg
- Add salt and pepper
- Top with shredded prosciutto and parmesan.
Presentation:
- I love to break the eggs and let the yolk flow freely.
- As I like the yolk with feta cheese, I add a few small cubes of feta as islands in the ocean of yolk. :)
