11. Broiled eggs with kale and roasted squash

In Praise of Leftovers
Break out that cast-iron skillet and the broiler setting on your oven. Crack four eggs directly in the skillet, over the kale and squash, then broil the whole dish until everything bubbles.

By Sarah Murphy-Kangas, In Praise of Leftovers

Clean out the veggie drawer with this easy dish. Cheesy eggs served with wilted kale and roasted squash make an easy weekday dinner, or an inventive brunch idea for the weekend.

Serves 2

Turn broiler on. Sauté several handfuls of washed and chopped kale in an ovenproof skillet with olive oil and a little garlic and salt. Cook until halfway wilted.

Add a handful of your roasted squash and a squeeze of lemon juice and a bit of grated lemon zest. Stir.

Crack four eggs over the top of the kale and squash mixture, and top with feta, sharp cheddar, or other cheese. Add some chopped fresh herbs if you want (parlsey, rosemary, thyme, or cilantro.) Cook until eggs are set a bit, then transfer to to the broiler.

Broil until everything is bubbling and eggs are cooked to your liking. Cut around eggs with a small spatula and serve, or just eat right out of the pan by yourself or with your friend or sweetie.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
