Brunch happens to be my favorite meal of the week as well.... This recipe looks absolutely delicious and perfectly versatile as a go-to breakfast, lunch or dinner :) What a lovely post... Thank you for sharing and Bon Appetit!
Oh, YUM! I wish the SO would eat spinach but since he doesn't that leaves more for moi :)))) Maybe adding bacon to the spinach might tempt him!
How is your new job going? Would love to hear about a typical day and how it's different from when you were freelancing.

Aww such a lovely way of enjoying dinner, my dear!! Though I get hungry by mid day and this seems to be perfect to cook!! Easy and fulfilling!
Your style is unique compared to other people I have read stuff from.

Gorgeous combo of flavours.
Yuuuuuummmmmm!
Such beautiful photos (as usual ;). May I ask where you bought your beautiful plate or who the designer is in the first image? It's simply gorgeous!! Thanks.
My favourite breakfast. Thanks for sharing.
Who would think that spinach and eggs taste to great together?
Try again - not sure what happened to my first attempt.
Thanks for publishing this is my favourite breakfast combination.
I don't think you can blame anybody for how they like to eat throughout the day actually! Even if I do eat breakfast and lunch, I agree with you that dinner is a little more special! The one you cooked here ( for whatever time of the day ) sounds so good! Happy Easter from sunny Sweden

I love how you can make even the simplest foods look so appealing...you are so talented!
This is beautiful and looks SO yummy and comforting! Thanks for sharing!
Mmmm... I love the idea of greens with an egg over them... I may have to try something like this!
I love your blog. Poached eggs over any veggies is one of my favorites. It's like you already have a sauce! This looks delicious! My new favorite is over shredded brussel sprouts.
Eggs, baguette and a side of mushrooms & onions is my idea of glory. The addition of butternut squash just makes me want to eat breakfast right this minute! Thank you for your always gorgeous pix and prose.
Mmmmm this looks so delicious and pretty light, perfect for brunch! But I truly don't know how you survive without breakfast :P
This looked absolutely delicious!
It has been ages since I have had a fried egg with spinach, so I will definitely be whipping this up in the next few days.
Thanks :-0
This will be bookmarked for when we start to harvest our kale in a few weeks, thanks for sharing such a great recipe.
Fresh picked spinach from the garden with an egg on top. I eat it almost every morning in garden weather. And in the winter I switch to mushrooms :)
Absolutely delicious - the vinegar in the spinach/shrooms really lifts it. Beautifully shot too - thankyou!
