Preparation duration: 5 minutes

Cooking duration: 30 minutes

 

Ingredients:

4 cups lightly-packed baby spinach

8 slices bacon, preferably uncured, nitrate-free

8 sliced gluten-free bread, toasted (I used Canyon Bakehouse)

2 tablespoons chopped chives

4 large eggs, lightly beaten, preferably organic

1 tablespoon olive oil

sea salt and fresh ground pepper, as needed

Equipment:

aluminum foil

baking sheet

oven

paper towels

frying pan

cutting board

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set a baking rack on the baking sheet. Put the bacon on the baking rack. Bake for 30 minutes, carefully flipping halfway through, or until desired crispness is achieved. Transfer cooked bacon to a paper towel lined plate to cool.Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Rinse the baby spinach and shake lightly to remove some of the water. Put the spinach and chives in the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted. Remove cooked spinach and chives to a paper towel lined cutting board, removing as much moisture as possible. Discard the paper towels. Chop the spinach and chives roughly. Stir the chopped spinach and chives into the lightly beaten eggs. Return to the skillet and cook until the eggs are set.Divide the cooked eggs into four portions. If desired, spread pesto on the toasted bread, then put the bacon on one slice of bread and top it with one-fourth of the eggs. Top the eggs with microgreens if using. Complete the sandwich with the second slice of bread. Serve with extra pesto on the side if desired. (In my book you can never have enough pesto.)

Food Joke

A young woman, who was at her father's funeral, asked her mother, "Mom, how did Dad die?" Her mom replied, "Heart attack." "What was he doing?" the daughter asked. Her mother said, "Well, we were having sex." This enfuriated the daughter, because they were both 80 years old. The daughter said, "You guys are 80 years old! You should have expected something like this! You're way too old to be engaging in this sort of activity!" The mom replied, "Well, you see, years ago, we realized that at noon every day, the church bells rang. So, we decided to work along to that nice, slow rhythm so that your father wouldn't have a heart attack. It worked for years too. That poor guy... he'd still be alive today if that darned Ice Cream truck hadn't come along..."
