| Veggie-Packed Poached Eggs with Toast |
As a nation, we don’t eat enough veggies. It’s not hard
to eat a salad or have cooked veggies with dinner, but getting veggies in for
breakfast can be a challenge. Sure there are omelets, but I wanted something
quick and easy.
The theme for Recipe Redux this month is to “break out of
the breakfast boredom.” For me, I just purchased a microwave egg poacher.,
based on a strong recommendation from one of my best friends.

I opened my fridge and grabbed raw spinach, a red bell
pepper, mushroom, green onion, sharp cheddar cheese, and then to spice it up a
bit, some turkey pepperoni slices. I also added some dried dill weed as I love
the combination of eggs and dill.

It all goes together very fast and cooks in the microwave
for only a minute or two.
