Learned a trick of baking an egg in a muffin pan. It's pretty much changed breakfast forever.
Recipe: Crack 1 egg per muffin cup in a tin (if not non-stick, butter the tin first). Mix egg or not depending on your preference. Add sprinkles of whatever you feel like (spinach, cheese, herbs, etc). Bake at 350F for 10-15min depending on how runny you like your yolk.
Homemade Spinach Tortillas is a slight twist on the traditional recipe by adding some Spinach Puree in the dough and giving it a health kick. Here is how to make it.

Once a month for brunch I have a spinach omelet. But I hardly ever have hash browns. And my bread intake is very limited these days.
From our local Mexican restaurant, Old Santa Fe Express. We try to order take out once a week to support a local business. Black beans are actually Cuban, but have entered Mexican cuisine in recent decades. But then, cheese, spinach, lettuce and wheat are not native to North America at all.

Vegan 'creamed' spinach
(in other words: animal-free, no dairy!)
*****************
▶ INGREDIENTS
12 cups fresh spinach
1 cup plain soymilk, unsweetened AND unflavored
(read note below)
2 teaspoons orange zest, finely grated
2 teaspoons lemon zest, finely grated
2 teaspoons vegan margarine
1/2 cup yellow onion, minced
pinch of nutmeg
Sea salt, to taste
Sliced almonds, toasted
▶ PROCEDURE
1) Wash and clean spinach. Squeeze out excess water and coarsely chop.
2) Place soy milk, orange zest, and lemon zest in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower to simmer, stirring frequently, until reduced by half. Remove from heat.
3) Heat margarine over medium heat in a large sauté pan and add onion. Cook until onion is translucent. Add spinach and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
4) Add reduced soymilk to spinach and cook until thickened, stirring occasionally. Season with a pinch of nutmeg and sea salt to taste. Garnish with sliced almonds.
▶ NOTE
Read the soymilk label. Many unsweetened plant-milks contain flavorings. Conversely, some unflavored plant-milks may contain sweeteners. Neither is appropriate for this recipe. A plant-milk other than soy can be substituted but with the same flavoring/sweetener provisos.
