Drescription

Fill yourself up with this ultra-quick egg, spinach and Cheddar breakfast sandwich. Not only is it fast, but there's a good chance you already have the ingredients on hand that you'll need to pull it together, so you can skip a trip to the store before your busy workweek.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped baby spinach
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 whole-grain english muffin, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add spinach, garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon pepper and salt; cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the pan. Break egg into the pan; sprinkle with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook until set on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Break the yolk, then flip the egg and cook, undisturbed, until set, about 1 minute more.
  3. Place the spinach on an English muffin half. Sprinkle with cheese, then top with the fried egg and remaining muffin half.

Skillet Potatoes with Smoked Fish and Smoked Paprika Aioli

I love smoked fish for breakfast, and one of my favorite ways to have it is mixed into a skillet of fried potatoes. I add dollops of smoked paprika aioli for a little extra smoke and tang. Since it's breakfast, I just mix up an easy aioli by adding garlic, lemon, and spice to mayonnaise, but you could absolutely make one from scratch if your arm is up for that kind of whisking early in the day.

Comfort Fish and Chickpea Pilaf

This recipe is inspired by something my Pakistani graduate school friend used to make. A hearty rice dish that was a one dish meal, enriched with her black cardamoms and complete with a generous dose of butter. It might be argued that you might add clarified butter to this, but back then in a graduate school setting that might be a novelty. She added chunks of fish (canned sardines) to this recipe, it is still my go to comfort food.
