Polenta and Kale with Poached Egg

I was cruising Pinterest last week and came across this recipe. The picture had me captivated, a beautiful runny poached egg, my dream weekend breakfast BUT polenta for breakfast?? Stirring kale into the polenta??  I had never considered these options. Although it is another couple of months before I can eat runny yolks again I decided to try this one out this morning as I had all the ingredients on hand.

Here is the link to the recipe:


RATINGS:
Heather - 8.5 - "A great way to eat veggies with breakfast"
Brad - 7 - "Ok, but not very exciting"
NOTES:
Next time I would make the polenta with at least half (if not all) chicken or vegetable stock instead of water. I find it just gives polenta (and couscous) more flavor that way.
I may have mentioned before that I love tomatoes with eggs. Today I just cut some cherry tomatoes in half and sauteed them in a couple of drops of olive oil then sprinkled with some S & P right before serving. They added some punch to the meal.

This made way more polenta than required for 2 servings. I will use the leftovers later this week. Yay; )
