Mushroom and Spinach Breakfast Bites

I know I haven’t been updating regularly but I have been experimenting and cooking. Good news is I haven’t burnt down my kitchen and while there is no real bad news some of my experiments have been disastrous. I think I should blog about them too; we can’t all have perfect days in the kitchen now, can we.

While looking for cooking ideas on the net (where else) I came across this link to Summer Zucchini Bites and I was inspired.

Sausages, eggs and bread can be had only for so many weekends as breakfast.  And of course you’re then wondering where your neck has disappeared and why those jeans don’t fit anymore.  And an extra chin is not exactly a fashion statement.

But leaving the cholesterol worries behind, I wanted to make something for breakfast for a change. So looking into my fridge I saw Mushrooms and Spinach and decided to use these to make a yummy and easy breakfast.

The first time I tried these they were a bit crisp and a tad dry.  The second attempt was much better and they held their form and shape as I would’ve liked them to.  Get your muffin tin out for this easy breakfast recipe.

Mushroom and Spinach Breakfast Bites

½ cup Breadcrumbs
1 egg
2 cups Spinach (shredded)
1 cup Mushrooms (chopped)
1 tsp Thyme
1 clove Garlic (minced)
1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
Butter to grease
Salt
Pepper

Preheat oven to 200C.

Lightly beat the egg and in a bowl mix all the ingredients together with a wooden spoon or your hands. I’d recommend using your hands even though it’s a tad messy.

Grease your muffin tin with butter, make sure they are greased properly else these Breakfast bites might stick to your tin.

Put the mixture into the muffin cups. Bake for about 20 to 25 mins.

Pry the bites from the tin once cooled.
