  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar

For the French toasts:

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) cream
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon butter for frying pan

Instructions

  1. For the balsamic onion jam: heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, add brown sugar and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, stir in balsamic, and cook for another 2 minutes.

  3. Melt butter in a skillet under medium heat. Add soaked bread slices, sprinkle top of each slice with some parmesan cheese. Pan fry until golden brown.
  4. For the kale: sauté the kale with olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in the crushed garlic and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Serve the French toasts topped with a spoonful of balsamic onion jam, sprinkle some parmesan and top with some sauteed kale.
