Sauce

Fold in the kale and simmer until it begins to soften into the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to make 6 little wells in the sauce for the eggs to nestle into. The skillet will be relatively full at this point, so just do your best. Crack the eggs into the wells and cover the skillet. Cook over low heat until the whites are firm but the yolks remain a touch runny, 6 to 8 minutes. Top with the crumbled feta.

Scoop into bowls, sprinkle with flaky salt and red pepper flakes, and drizzle with a dash of olive oil. While I find this best the day it’s made, you can allow leftovers to cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Note: To cook the wheat berries, bring 1 cup (170 g) wheat berries and 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil, then decrease the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Don't peek or stir—it will disrupt the steaming of the grains. Simmer until tender, 50 to 60 minutes. Cooking time can vary widely depending on the type of wheat berries, so check the package.
