Frog Legs

Not really Frog Legs (you won't find a recipe like that here!).  Just green french toast cut into strips!  For Big Critics, you don't have to give it a cute name and can just call it Green French Toast.   This savory french toast can go with any meal, but  makes a nice light lunch with a salad.  It is so easy to make, but do NOT use yucky bread that comes in a bag and stays fresh on the counter for over a week.  It is full of chemicals and you really want the slightly stale bread that only comes from the fresh bakery bread.
  • 1 TBS butter
  • 6 slices of day old bakery bread (or however many slices you need to cover the pan you are using)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup of fresh kale (tough stalks removed)
  • 1 cup of grated cheese
Butter an oven proof pan and then lay out the bread down in slices until the whole bottom is covered.  In a magic bullet puree the kale with eggs.  If you don't have room in your blender, use only two eggs and combine in a bowl with the remaining eggs once the kale is pureed.  Pour the mixture over the bread to ensure that all the bread gets covered.  Cover with the grated cheese and bake at 400 for 12-15 min.  Serve whole, or in little Frog Legs.  My Little Critic dipped it in ketchup.  At least she was getting the kale in!!
