1 In a microwaveable bowl, mix the kale, chilli and chopped tomatoes with a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Push the mixture to the sides of the bowl to make a well in the middle, then tip the egg whites into the centre. Cover the bowl with cling film and cook in the microwave on Medium for 40 secs, then allow to cool for a moment before heating for another 40 secs.
2 Add the egg yolks to the whites, then gently pierce the yolk of each one to break the membrane – and prevent them from exploding. Microwave for another 40 secs, then remove, peel back the cling film, grind over some black pepper and serve.
