Spinach and egg combos for brunch
Eggs and spinach are a classic pairing—versatile, quick, and suitable for many brunch formats from bakes to simple skillet dishes. Focus on timing so spinach is tender but not overcooked.
Ideas to try:
- Put sautéed spinach into an egg frittata or crustless quiche for an easy bake.
- Fold wilted spinach into scrambled eggs or an omelette with cheese.
- Layer spinach in breakfast sandwiches with fried eggs and a creamy spread.
- Make shakshuka and add spinach at the end to wilt into the tomato sauce.
Practical tips:
- Cook spinach first if you want to avoid extra water in egg dishes.
- Season with nutmeg, black pepper, or hot sauce to complement eggs.
- Prepare spinach ahead for speedy assembly on brunch mornings.
These combinations provide flavorful, nutrient-rich brunch options that are easy to scale and adapt.
