Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small bunch kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 English muffins, split
- 8 slices prosciutto
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Arrange the English muffin halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Toast in the oven for 5–7 minutes until lightly crisp.
- Layer each half with kale, a slice of prosciutto, and a generous sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
- Bake for another 8–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Meanwhile, fry the eggs in a skillet to your liking—sunny-side-up works beautifully here.
