I gotta be honest, y'all. I don't feel my best today physically. One of my glands in my neck is huge and swollen and I'm fighting off an optical migraine. So, bare with me! We'll get through this together!
Funny enough, this meal right here has managed to perk me up quite a bit. I'm not feeling as horrible as I did earlier. Maybe part of my problem is that I was hangry? You know... when you're so hungry that you get angry?
When I'm feeling under the weather, I tend to stick to the simple and easy recipes that I know and love. Now, a while back I had made these Italian Baked Eggs. They were new and different and exciting, and I absolutely loved them.
I've seen these Baked Eggs & Spinach done a few times before, and they always had me curious. So with my success and adoration of the Italian Baked Eggs, I decided it was high time to give these a go... And I'm so glad that I did!
I know that I keep saying it, but this has got to be one of my newest and most favorite breakfasts! With literally only three ingredients and 20 minutes, this also has to be one of the easiest breakfasts on the planet to pull together.
I haven't tried it yet myself, but I'm pretty darn sure that these could be prepped ahead of time and reheated for breakfast through the week too.
I gave mine a little swirl of Sriracha to add color and a bit of a spicy kick, but that's definitely not needed here. These eggs would fine on their own or with a bit of salsa, pico, pretty much anything. Today I was in Sriracha mode. (Maybe I felt like I could burn the swelling in my gland out? Haha.)
Don't skip out on the feta here! It really makes this dish all the more heavenly. Yum!
