Yield:
3 cups bean mixture + 4 poached eggs

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar

  • 4 eggs

  • 2 teaspoon olive oil

  • 2 cup sliced fresh button mushrooms

  • 4 cup chopped fresh kale or spinach

  • 1 15 ounce can cannellini (white kidney) beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 cup quartered grape tomatoes or 1/2 cup sliced oil-packed dried tomatoes

  • ¼ teaspoon salt or garlic salt

  • ¼ teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning or black pepper

  • ¼ cup chopped green onions (optional)

Directions

  1. Add 4 cups water to a large skillet; add vinegar. Bring to simmering. Break an egg into a custard cup and slip egg into simmering water. Repeat with remaining eggs, allowing each egg an equal amount of space. Simmer 3 to 5 minutes or until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and keep warm.

  2. Empty skillet and wipe clean. In skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add kale; cook 30 seconds or until wilted, stirring frequently. Stir in beans, tomatoes, salt, and lemon-pepper seasoning; heat through.

  3. Divide bean mixture among bowls. Top with poached eggs and, if desired, green onions.
