Prep Time 10 min
Cook Time 15 min

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 oz (60 g) sliced pancetta, finely chopped
  • 2 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) honey
  • ½ tsp (2.5 mL) each salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup (60 mL) water
  • 1 bunch kale, trimmed and chopped, about 6 cups
  • ½ cup (125 mL) halved red and yellow grape tomatoes

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Place eggs in medium saucepan and cover with warm water. Set over high heat and bring to boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and remove from heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Drain and place eggs under cold, running water until cool enough to handle; peel and set aside.

  • Step 2

    Meanwhile, set large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook for 5 minutes or until browned. Using a slotted spoon, transfer pancetta to paper towel-lined plate. Add shallots to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes.

  • Step 3

    Stir in mustard, honey, salt and pepper until well combined. Pour in vinegar and water. Simmer for 2 minutes or until slightly reduced. Add kale and tomatoes; toss to coat. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly wilted.

  • Step 4

    Divide kale evenly between plates. Cut each egg in half and place over kale. Scatter pancetta over each serving.
