How to Make Homemade Brekkie
Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup cheese (cheddar or feta)
- 4 slices of bread (for toasting)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or butter (for cooking)
Directions:
- In a skillet, heat a little olive oil or butter over medium heat. Make sure it’s warm but not too hot.
- Add the spinach and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook them until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are a little soft, about 3-4 minutes. Stir them gently while cooking.
- While the veggies are cooking, crack the eggs into a separate bowl. Whisk the eggs with a fork, adding a little salt and pepper to season.
- Pour the eggs into the skillet with the vegetables. Tilt the pan to spread the eggs evenly across the pan.
- Cook the eggs until they are set. This usually takes around 4-5 minutes. When the eggs look nearly done, sprinkle the cheese on top. Let it melt.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a skillet until they are golden brown.
- Once everything is ready, serve the eggs alongside the toasted bread for a hearty breakfast.
How to Serve Homemade Brekkie
Serve your Homemade Brekkie hot on plates. You can cut the toast in half and use it to scoop up the cheesy eggs and veggies. For an extra touch, add a little more cheese on top or a few herbs for decoration. This looks great and makes the dish even tastier!
How to Store Homemade Brekkie
If you have leftovers, store the eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for 1-2 days. To reheat, warm them in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Toast new slices of bread to enjoy with the leftovers.
Tips to Make Homemade Brekkie
- Use fresh ingredients for the best taste. Fresh spinach and ripe tomatoes make a big difference.
- Adjust the cooking time based on how you like your eggs. If you prefer softer eggs, take them off the heat a bit earlier.
- Experiment with different cheeses. Each type brings a unique flavor.
- If you like, you can add cooked bacon or sausage for extra protein.
Variation (If Any)
You can easily change this recipe to fit your tastes. For example, use bell peppers, mushrooms, or onions instead of spinach and tomatoes. You can also switch the cheese for your favorite type, such as mozzarella or goat cheese. If you want a lighter meal, skip the bread and serve the eggs and veggies in a bowl.
FAQs

What if I don’t have spinach?
You can use other greens like kale or even frozen spinach if fresh is not available.
Can I make this ahead of time?
