Ingredients
Scale
For the balsamic onion jam:
1 Tablespoon butter
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
4 large slices bread
1/2 cup (50g) shredded parmesan cheese
For the sauteed kale:
2 cups (100g) kale, roughly chopped
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 small garlic clove, crushed
Salt & pepper
Instructions
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.
For the French toasts: whisk together eggs, cream, salt and pepper. Dredge bread slices in egg mixture, turning several times until each slice is soaked.
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.
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.
Serve the French toasts topped with a spoonful of balsamic onion jam, sprinkle some parmesan and top with some sauteed kale.
