Braised Kale and Feta Tartines

These tartines (open-faced sandwiches) have become a staple in our housein fact, they were our Christmas morning brunch this year. The cool thing is, they come together in about five minutes if you have some braised kale on hand, and only 15 or so minutes if you're starting from scratch.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound kale, zipped, cleaned and chopped
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons feta cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 4 slices rustic bread

Instructions

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, deep saute pan over medium heat, and add garlic. Saute for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add kale and vegetable broth to pan, season with salt and pepper, and toss well to coat. Cover pan, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 8-10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until kale is crisp-tender.
  • While kale is cooking, mix together feta, oregano and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Remove lid and increase heat to medium-high. Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes, until any remaining liquid has burned off, and kale is tender but still vibrant. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Mound kale onto bread, and spread cheese mixture on top. Broil for 3 minutes, until cheese is bubbly.
