Oh my! What a nice way to wake up! My husband and I had the recipe for breakfast and it was delicious. I used fresh tomato slices on the top instead of canned, because that was what I had. The flavors were so good together. Be sure and drain the spinach mixture well, and I let it sit about 10 minutes before cutting it. Thanks, Karyl Lee Carole in Orlando

I tried to eat this for breakfast, but just couldn't stomach it, too much spice for me. My mom took this to work for lunch and she raved about how great it was. I never tried it later in the day, but I'm sure it would have tasted as good as she said. If I make it again, it will be for lunch or dinner.

I am a working artist with a continuing culinary practice in special recipe design- I like to make jams and jellies, salsa and pasta sauce from locally sourced or personally grown produce. At the local farmer's market my friend and I sell muffins we make and also seeds from Seed Savers Exchange, which takes seriously the preservation and protection of heirloom varieties from around the world. I have self-published a children's book I illustrated and am
working on a followup book with the author that continues the story of "Sophie, Circus Mouse", the first title.
The illustration above is one I created for a local orchard's street sign.
