- 4 fl ozchicken or vegetable broth

Cookware
can opener · chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · potato masher · small saucepan · spatula · stirring spoon
Directions
- Rinse and dry the produce, then prepare the kale: remove stems, stack leaves, and slice crosswise into thin ribbons.
- Mince the garlic and set aside.
- Warm a small saucepan over medium heat, then add a knob of butter and swirl to coat the bottom.
- Add half the minced garlic to the pan and cook just until fragrant, about 15–30 seconds.
- In a separate pan or skillet, start heating a bit of oil over medium heat for the eggs.
- Rinse the beans and begin mashing them in the pan with half the broth, stirring as you go.
- Pour in the remaining broth, add most of the Parmesan, salt, and pepper, and continue mashing until you reach a creamy consistency; cover to keep warm.
- Heat a bit more oil in a skillet. Crack in the eggs and cook until the whites set and the yolks remain runny, about 2–3 minutes; transfer to a plate.
- Add remaining oil to the skillet, then sauté the kale with the remaining garlic, seasoning with salt and pepper until wilted, 3–4 minutes; finish with lemon juice.
- Assemble: spoon the mashed beans into bowls, top with kale and fried eggs, and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan; serve immediately.
Two tips
- Prep ahead by washing kale and mincing garlic, then refrigerating; the components reheat quickly.
- If Parmesan isn’t available, omit it and finish with a squeeze of lemon; leftovers reheat well in a skillet the next day.
