Ingredients
- 100g kale leaves, woody stalks removed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 8 rashers streaky bacon
- 40g butter
- 4 eggs
- 4 brioche buns
- 125g ball mozzarella
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 6 tbsp mayonnaise
Method
- STEP 1
Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Tip the kale onto a baking tray, drizzle over the oil and season well. Toss together and bake for 10-12 minutes (turning halfway) or until crisp and golden. Remove from the oven, scatter over the paprika and mix well.
- STEP 2
Turn the grill to high. Put the bacon onto a rack and grill for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden and crisp.
- STEP 3
Heat the butter in a large non-stick frying pan and crack in the eggs. Season and cook for 4-5 minutes or until just set.
- STEP 4
While the eggs are cooking, cut the buns in half and grill for 1 minute until toasted. Tear the mozzarella and divide between the bottom halves of the buns. Put onto the grill rack and cook for 1 minute until melted, then transfer to serving plates.
- STEP 5
Mix the sriracha with the mayonnaise. Spread the sauce on the underside of the bun lids. Drizzle the remainder over the mozzarella-covered buns and top with the bacon. Add the egg and finally the kale. Top with the other bun halves and serve immediately.
