Brainless Breakfast

“My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four . . . unless there are three other people.”  Oscar Wilde

The main thrust of this entry is about an incredible breakfast that I enjoyed this morning.  It consisted entirely of muffins.  There were two kinds.  The egg, spinach and bacon muffin, and the salmon, sweet potato muffin.  OK.  Technically, you could call these cakes, but I made them in a muffin tin so I get to call them muffins.

It’s like having a baby.  (Where did that come from?)  If you make it, you get to name it.  Unless, of course, you have an elderly, wealthy, Aunt Cunigunda, who just might slip back into reality long enough to change her will.  Get real!

However, I’m just going to share one of the recipes in this post because my caffeine intake is wearing off.  I choose (drum roll) the egg, spinach and bacon muffin!

 

My Brainless Breakfast

Two Egg and Spinach with Bacon Muffin

One Salmon with Sweet Potato Muffin

INGREDIENTS:

6 eggs

1 green onion, chopped

Zucchini squash, medium sized, chopped

4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

1/2 cup roasted red pepper, from a jar works fine

2 to 3 cups fresh spinach

Black pepper to taste

DISTRUCTIONS:  Preheat over to 350 degrees.  Grease muffin tin with coconut oil.

Whisk eggs, which we assume are out of their shells and in a bowl, along with some black pepper.  Place the rest of the ingredients, except for the spinach, into your food processor, and process until finely chopped.  Add to eggs.

Process the spinach and add to egg mixture.  Divide mixture among the 12-cup muffin tin and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.  

True confession:  I had some left over pepperoni so I threw that into the mixture as well.  The world continued to spin on its axis.  Remember, recipes are suggestions.  There are always many ways to screw them up personalize them.  I also baked my muffins a bit too long so I’d be sure that the eggs were cooked through.  They could have been fluffier, but they were still darn tasty.  

Next Question:  So you got up this morning and made a bunch of muffins?  No.  I made a bunch of muffins (three kinds) yesterday afternoon. My refrigerator runneth over with muffins.  This morning I simply placed my selection into a non-stick pan, covered the pan, put the stove on really low, and took a shower.  By the time I was bathed and dressed my breakfast was waiting for me.  I’m not just a pretty face!
