Ingredients
- one cup cooked quinoa
- three large kale leaves
- two slices bacon
- two eggs
- sea salt
- black pepper
- pesto and/or hot sauce to serve
Instructions
1. Trim the stem ends of the kale, remove tough stems and cut crosswise into ½ inch-wide pieces. Wash and dry the kale, set aside.
2. In a cast iron skillet or pan on medium-high heat, add sliced the bacon and cook until crisp.
3. Once the bacon is almost cooked, reduce heat to medium and add chopped kale to the pan with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until kale is wilted and bright green, set aside.
4. Fill a separate saucepan about 2/3 full with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn down to a simmer.
5. One at a time, crack the eggs into a small measuring cup and carefully lower the egg into the water and then tip it out into the water. Repeat with as many eggs as desired.
6. Poach eggs to your liking; 2 minutes for very soft eggs, 3 minutes for medium, and 4-5 minutes for a harder yolk.
7. While the eggs are cooking, begin to assemble your bowl; add cooked quinoa and layer with kale and bacon mixture.
8. Using a slotted spoon remove eggs from the boiling water, lightly pat dry and transfer them to you bowl.
9. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve as is, or with a dollop of pesto or hot sauce for extra flavour.
10. Enjoy!
