Baked Eggs with Wilted Spinach and Salmon
So, I’ve got a thing for eggs. I could eat them for any meal, at any time, and any number of ways. There’s a culinary urban legend that the number of pleats in a traditional chef’s hat (aka a toque) reflect all the waysto cook eggs. While I’ve never found concrete evidence backing that claim, I’d estimate there are at least fivekajillion totally unique egg recipes out there. And where there are eggs, there’s certainly a thought or two about brunch. Myfamily isn’t all that religious but we do love a good Easter brunch filled with all sorts of eggs. Here is an egg recipe loaded with some other brunch-y classics including two of my favorites: smoked salmon and buttery wilted spinach.
