DirectionsTo prepare cauliflower steaks:Position oven rack in upper third; preheat to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil; coat with cooking spray.Cut cauliflower heads in half lengthwise; trim the sides to create 2 (1-inch-thick) “steaks” from each head. Arrange the cauliflower steaks on the prepared baking sheet; reserve trimmed florets for another use.Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Priscilla MontielCoat the cauliflower with cooking spray. Sprinkle both sides with Italian seasoning and salt. Roast, flipping once, until browned and tender, 30 to 35 minutes.Meanwhile, prepare pesto hollandaise:Place egg yolks in a blender. Secure the lid on the blender and remove the center piece; place a clean towel over the opening. Process until light in color, about 30 seconds. With the blender running on low speed, slowly pour 1 tablespoon vinegar through the opening; process until blended, 10 to 15 seconds. Add pesto; process until completely blended, about 30 seconds.Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Priscilla MontielPlace cubed butter in a glass measuring cup; microwave on High in 20-second intervals until melted, about 2 (20-second) intervals. With the blender running on low speed, slowly pour the melted butter through the lid opening; process until the butter is incorporated and the mixture looks thick, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a microwaveable bowl. When ready to serve, microwave on Low until warmed through, 30 to 45 seconds.To prepare poached eggs & kale:Pour water into a deep medium skillet to a depth of 2 inches; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Stir in vinegar. Reduce heat to medium-low and create a whirlpool using a spoon; crack eggs, 1 at a time, into the center of the whirlpool. Simmer until the whites are set and the yolks are runny, about 4 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the poached eggs to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Carefully drain the pan and wipe it clean.In the dry skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring constantly,  until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add kale; cook, stirring constantly, until tender-crisp and wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.Divide the kale among 4 plates; top each with 1 cauliflower steak, 1 poached egg and about 2 tablespoons hollandaise. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper and salt.Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Priscilla MontielEatingWell.com, August 2024

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
