This Sautéed Kale and White Bean Toast features sautéed kale that is tender yet slightly crisp, combined with creamy white beans that add a rich texture. The toast is crunchy, providing the perfect base for this delicious topping.

Ingredients

4 slices whole-grain bread
1 bunch kale, stems removed and chopped
1 can (15 oz) white beans, rinsed and drained
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Juice of 1 lemon
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

Toast the Bread: Start by toasting the slices of whole-grain bread until golden and crispy.
Sauté the Kale: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped kale and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted and tender, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the Beans: Stir in the white beans and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Squeeze in the lemon juice and mix well.
Assemble the Toast: Top each slice of toasted bread with the sautéed kale and white bean mixture. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve: Enjoy immediately while the toast is crunchy and the topping is warm.
