Author Notes
To me, this makes the perfect savory breakfast, especially with a cup of green tea on the side. Sometimes I'll have it with a fried egg on top, or a bit of oil-packed tuna, or whatever leftovers I have lying around. It was created when I found a random package of frozen spinach in my freezer, and realized that I had never used the stuff before. I've since tried it with fresh spinach, and though I feel a little guilty to admit it, I much prefer it with the frozen variety. —linzarella
