Most people wouldn’t consider Spinach as something they’d want as part of breakfast, but in our house it’s a pretty common way to start the day.

Start out with a skillet or wok on a medium high heat with either a pat of butter or a good shot of butter flavor cooking spray. Rough cut about a half cup or so of mushrooms and saute lightly. (any variety you like, the basic white button mushrooms and portabella are favorites of ours) Slice up about 8 or 10 Black Olives and add them. I then take a couple slices of oven roasted turkey breast (about 2 oz or so), cut ‘em into strips and then cut the strips so it turns out a medium dice. Add a little bit of minced garlic (around 1/4 teaspoon or so.. vary to taste) and give it a stir.

While that’s going, wash and chop about a cup and a half of fresh spinach and add that. From here all you need is about a minute or so for the spinach to get hot. You don’t want to leave it going very long or it’ll very quickly shrink down and “limp out”.

Put it in a bowl and it’s ready to go. It’s great with some shredded cheese melted on top. (about 15 seconds in a microwave oven makes for fast melting) Another good touch is to crumble some bacon bits in as it’s cooking. As I’ve described it, this serves one, just multiply by however many you’re serving and you’re good to go.
