This one-pan dish is filled with plenty of low-carb ingredients, along with protein and healthy fats to keep you fed and fit. Toss it together in just 20 minutes for a quick-fix meal any time of the week.
For this recipe, we add a bit of balsamic vinegar to balance out the strong bitter flavor of kale. We then toss it with a small amount of rendered bacon fat to allow the kale to tenderize and meld with the crispy garlic. Tip: If you prefer to leave out the vinegar, you could also sub in one tablespoon of lemon juice instead.

To get started, sauté the bacon pieces in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, and set the bacon pieces aside. Save the rendered bacon fat and use half of it to brown the garlic slices on each side.
When the garlic slices are toasted, set them aside and grease the pan with the remaining bacon fat. Toss in the kale leaves and sauté until slightly wilted. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar on top and mix well to fully combine.
Then, cook the eggs sunny side up and divide the sautéed kale between two plates. Garnish with bacon and garlic, then top each plate with an egg. Sprinkle with salt and pepper before serving and enjoy!
