Eggs with spinach breakfast

It’s a leap year and since I’m writing this recipe on the leap day (it will be posted a little later) I must share some facts and traditions that go on. I do know that this eggs and spinach breakfast has nothing to do with leap year traditions around the world but since I am posting it on the 29th Feb I feel I need to mention. Besides, it is too funny not to 😉
I think tradition it’s a beautiful thing, it’s heritage, it should be carried over from generation to generation. Why not, some traditions are really cute and pretty funny just like these in Denmark and Ireland.

Well, apparently ….

In Denmark my FB friend Brigitte says:
‘ The 100 or 200 old tradition is that in a leap day it is okay for woman to ask her boyfriend to marry her.’
If he says “NO” ? on this day, he will have to buy her 12 pairs of gloves or socks. ?

In Ireland women take matters into own hands, get down on one knee and ask the man they like to marry them. Why wait, if the man takes too long to do it?

It was the same in Scotland the same and apparently if men said no, they had to pay a fine?

The folklore has plenty of wonderful, funny and quite strange traditions but many times pretty outdated ones, right?

about this breakfast ….

You know how much I value breakfast and this definitely one of these top breakfast preferences.

What is not to like, it contains my top favourite ingredients. It is a protein-packed, colourful, delicious and super nutritious brekkie.

Having a breakfast that takes less than 15 min to get it on the plate as delicious as this it’s surely anyone’s ultimate dream.

Most days, with some exceptions of course at the weekend and the holidays, are a real rush. The rush pushes many of us to eat unwell, unhealthy and pretty rushed breakfasts. This may be because some may think making a nice breakfast takes time.

Quick breakfasts …

I mentioned in my recipe card that this breakfast will take about 13 minutes to make but that is because I have cooked the spinach, tomatoes and eggs separately. If you cook this for one or two people, you can put all in one pan and it will be ready in literally 5 minutes. Just toast the bread while cooking the eggs and the veg and here you have breakfast in less than 10 minutes. It only takes a jiffy, it’s a promise. Doesn’t sound too bad, does it? It’s doable, isn’t it? Looks delicious, right?

Hopefully I’ve made you think and you’ll give a good breakfast a go going forward….

Starting a day with eggs with spinach breakfast like this, nice and consistent packed with nutrition and nutrients it’s how any day should start. This is how I feel and even if you are to have it a little later, prepare it and have it for brunch.
a good nutritious breakfast or brunch would be a lot better than a rushed, sugar-packed one. Agree? Just looking at my kids, if I was to allow them to choose their breakfast every day it will without a doubt be a sweet version. The easy option and sadly, it’ll be the same boring cereals most days.

This is not because they don’t eat stuff, no! It’s simply out of comfort, it’s quick, it’s sweet, it’s convenient but it’s ultimately The reality is – it is pretty unhealthy.

eggs with spinach Breakfast vs a sweet version

I have noticed that every time I have a sweet breakfast my day would be a sweet craving rollercoaster.

This is probably one reason I naturally avoid starting my day in a sweet way. In a sweet note, yes, but not with a sweet brekkie. ?

Well, we do, don’t get me wrong, a pancake, a smoothie, a bowl of cereal every now and then and that’s absolutely ok. I suppose I’m lucky I’m not a sweet tooth person but as a savoury one.

Besides, I am kinda hooked to eggs and I love, love, love quail eggs, they are such a magnificent ingredient.
