| Spinach Scramble breakfast |
 |
| Bacon-wrapped Italian-style meat loaf |
One of the great things about making a three pound meat loaf is that it makes more than just one meal. In this case, I got four meals out of it. The first night was Taylor's birthday, so we had, well, meat loaf, and garlic mashed potatoes, brown gravy, roasted broccoli and a deviled egg appetizer. Then there was the peanut butter frosted chocolate cake. See, with all of that we couldn't even finish the main course.
So the next morning, I sliced off two pieces of meat loaf, chopped it up and added some spinach to make a spinach scramble. Eggs are on sale this time of year, so we are eating a lot of them! It made a yummy breakfast. That afternoon we had meat loaf sandwiches before going to the Melodrama performance. There was still a little bit of meat loaf leftover, which I thought the kid might eat during the night or something...but he didn't. So two days later we had another spinach-egg-meat loaf scramble.
Spinach scrambles are my favorite way to eat scrambled eggs. I like it with just the spinach, maybe a little chopped onion, and the scrambled eggs.
Adding meat loaf or sausage or just plain old browned ground beef is a delicious breakfast, in my opinon. Of course, I used some of the fresh parsley from SLO Veg in my meat loaf creation. I was inspired by the meal loaf on Pioneer Woman's show. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/meatloaf-recipe.html
It was wrapped in bacon and topped with chunky diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings.
I just happened to watch it the morning of my son's birthday, and it looked like the perfect meal for him for that special day. I also used the parsley in the mashed potatoes for the birthday meal, then I made potato pancakes later on. Some of our farm-fresh SLO Veg spinach went into the egg scramble, so it was fresh and green and flavorful, very fitting for a St. Patrick's Day breakfast two days later. We got our green on this past weekend, for sure! And finally, finally! the meat loaf is all gone. : )
Spinach Scramble Recipe:
6 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
daash of salt
1 cup left over meat loaf, broken up
1 cup fresh spinach
oil for skillet
So to make this scramble, just reheat some leftover meat loaf in a skillet with a dash of oil, chopping it up a bit. Add chopped spinach and heat through until it wilts. Scramble 6 eggs in a bowl, adding a sprinkling of salt and a dash of milk (I like to use coconut milk). Pour eggs over the meat-spinach mixture and let cook until set. Stir eggs and let cook some more until the eggs are cooked through. Spoon into serving bowls and sprinkle with your favorite cheese.
