Fresh from the garden


Yum!

I was at a loss on what to have for my lunch today. There wasn't anything much appealing in the fridge. I flicked through one of my cookbooks with lovely bright funky pictures and spotted a delicious looking Spinach Florentine. Aha! I had plenty of spinach (or maybe it is silverbeet that isn't fully grown?) ready for picking and the chickens had laid 2 fresh eggs (I just needed to add another from yesterday's lot to make it a halfway filling meal lol).

-Poach a couple of freshly laid eggs
-Saute the spinach in a lump of butter and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg
-Lay the eggs on the spinach
-Place a few slices of parmesan cheese on top
-Grill in the oven until the cheese melts

Thanks for the inspiration Nikki--I ate exactly this for dinner tonight! Spinach fresh from the garden and eggs free range from the farmers' market. Parmesan is the perfect topping; reminiscent of benedict debauchery!

Thanks guys!
Stephen, glad it inspired you - I can see it will make my lunch menu many more times in the months to come.
