"The multitudes of people identified as foodies, have come to believe, it appears, that chefs are adorable, cuddly creatures who wear spotless white uniforms and are all too happy to give them a taste of whatever they're whipping up at the time. The truth, as professionals well know, is somewhat different"

-Anthony Bourdain

Eggs Benedict with Fried Kale

To make a delicious Eggs Benedict with Fried Kale, start by toasting fresh bread until it’s golden brown. Next, prepare your hollandaise sauce by emulsifying egg yolks, lemon juice, and melted butter over a double boiler until thick and creamy. For the kale, sauté it in a hot pan with a bit of olive oil, garlic, and a pinch of salt until it is crispy, which should add a delightful texture and earthy flavor to the dish. Poach eggs to your preferred doneness, with runny yolks serving as a classic choice for Eggs Benedict. Assemble your dish by placing a layer of fried kale on each muffin half, topping it with a poached egg, and drizzling generously with the velvety hollandaise sauce. The combination of the crisp kale with the classic components of Eggs Benedict will create a symphony of flavors and textures that’s sure to impress.
