GREEN EGGS AND HAM

-

Serves 4 to 6

No boiling, no frying, just a good, hearty supper with minimal cleanup.

1 boneless ham steak, cut into 1/ 2-in. cubes (7 ounces) 4 - 5 cups packed chopped kale 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Kosher salt 8-12 large eggs 1/ 2 cup crumbled feta Freshly ground black pepper Crusty bread, for serving

1. Preheat the oven to 375F with a rack in the centre position. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and mist the foil with cooking spray.

2. Spread out the ham on the prepared pan and bake, using a spatula to mix and turn the ham occasional­ly, until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.

3. Transfer the ham to a plate with a spatula or slotted spoon. Do not wipe up any grease from the bottom of the pan.

4. Place the kale on the pan, drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and toss to coat. Spread out in an even layer. Bake for 5 minutes.

5. Remove the pan from the oven, but leave the oven on. Use a wooden spoon to make eight to 12 evenly spaced divots in the kale to accommodat­e the eggs. Crack an egg into each divot. Sprinkle the feta, the reserved ham cubes, and some salt and pepper on top.

6. Return the pan to the oven. Bake the eggs until the whites are set, but the yolks are still runny, 10 to 15 minutes.

7. Enjoy greens and eggs and ham immediatel­y, with some crusty bread to soak up the warm, runny yolks.
