Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the baking dish
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt

1 cup sour cream or 2 percent Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1/2 cup chopped crisp-cooked bacon
1/2 cup cooked kale
1/2 cup cooked onions

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously coat a 9-inch square baking dish or 9-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the milk, sour cream, butter and egg in a medium bowl. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and whisk to combine. Fold in the bacon, kale and onion.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 slices bacon
1 bunch curly kale, ribs and stems removed, leaves torn into large pieces
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
Urfa pepper or other mild red pepper flakes and lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 375°F. Bake bacon on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet until brown and crisp, 12-15 minutes. Tear into large pieces; reserve fat for another use.
  • Meanwhile, spread out kale on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. oil. Massage leaves with oil and season with salt. Bake, tossing halfway through, until lightly browned around edges and crisp-tender, 5-7 minutes.
  • Season yogurt with salt. Divide among plates and top with bacon and kale.
  • Heat remaining 3 Tbsp. oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add eggs one at a time, shaking skillet between additions to keep them from sticking together. Cook, tilting skillet toward you and spooning oil over egg whites until whites are set, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, keeping skillet tilted, and add turmeric to oil. Baste egg whites with turmeric oil.
  • Divide eggs among plates and drizzle turmeric oil over. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and squeeze limes over.

BAKED EGGS WITH KALE, BACON AND CORNBREAD CRUMBS



Baked Eggs With Kale, Bacon and Cornbread Crumbs image

This Southern riff on bacon and eggs comes together quickly and with just a few ingredients. Using a store-bought corn muffin to make the toasted cornbread crumbs is a quick shortcut that gives this dish its star power. (Try using these crumbs as croutons in a kale Caesar salad, too!) Curly kale, collard greens, Swiss chard or a combination may be used in place of the Tuscan kale. For a vegetarian-friendly version, this recipe can be made without the bacon: Just sauté the garlic, onion and greens in 3 tablespoons olive oil, and add an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup large cornbread crumbs (about 4 ounces) from about 1 large corn muffin
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1 pound Tuscan or lacinato kale (about 2 bunches)
6 bacon slices (about 6 ounces), cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces (optional)
1 medium yellow onion, cut in half through the stem and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
1/2 cup water or chicken stock
2 teaspoons white-wine or apple cider vinegar
6 large eggs

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the cornbread crumbs on a sheet pan and toss gently with the olive oil. Season lightly with salt, and bake in the prepared oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until toasted. Set aside to cool.
  • Strip the kale leaves from the stems and roughly chop the leaves, discarding the stems. Place the leaves in a colander and rinse thoroughly (no need to dry).
  • Heat a large 12-inch cast-iron or ovenproof stainless-steel skillet over medium. Add the bacon, if using, and cook, tossing occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes, until browned. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel and set aside. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the pan, add the onions and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned and tender. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, being careful not to let the garlic scorch.
  • Add a large handful of kale to the pan, along with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. As the kale wilts, begin tossing it with tongs and adding more handfuls until all the kale is added. Add the water and vinegar, and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes, tossing often, until the kale is tender. Return the bacon to the pan and toss.
  • Use a spoon to create 6 small hollows in the cooked greens. Carefully crack an egg into each, sprinkle each one with salt and pepper and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the egg whites are just set. Sprinkle a handful of cornbread crumbs over the greens and eggs, and serve with additional cornbread crumbs on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, organic ingredients: This will ensure that your baked eggs are as flavorful as possible.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Kale, corn, and bacon are just a few suggestions. Feel free to add any other vegetables that you like, such as spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked just until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
  • Serve immediately: Baked eggs are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Baked eggs with kale, bacon, and cornbread crumbs is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's packed with protein, vegetables, and healthy fats, and it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
