brunch alert

Do you have breakfast? I hope you do, we all need to start our day full of energy. Classic scrambled eggs with a twist: Greek yogurt and spinach scrambled eggs.

I love spinach and this doesn’t only mean spanakopita. Although recently it’s the freezer that’s full of spinach bags, I often find a bit of baby spinach in the fridge too. It makes its way in many different dishes and salads, even smoothies. So, why not in breakfast?

Although an early riser, my breakfast is typically Greek, coffee first and we think about what else later. It’s impossible for me to eat first thing in the morning. If there is any positive side effects of lockdown 2.0  is that we can have immediate access to the kitchen. So it’s brunch almost every day!

A couple of eggs and a handful of spinach can always do the trick. Feel free to substitute the spinach with whatever greens you have sitting in your fridge. If you add a bit of goat’s cheese it is also wonderful.
