I made this today but instead of tomatoes, I added a spoonful serving of the Sun dried tomatoes in garlic and it really kicked it up in flavor. Thanks for the recipe!

I didn’t have fresh spinach and used frozen. I can’t wait to try it with fresh spinach. It was great and glad I found your blog.

Thank you so much Vanessa! Glad it worked with frozen spinach!
Katy says
I'm well behind the curve here but just stumbled across this to use up some toms and feta for breakfast - I popped it in a tortilla wrap and it rocks! Thank you. And eat away at the eggs- some historical iffy research to blame for saying we should restrict them!
Sam | Ahead of Thyme says
Thanks, Katy! Great idea on stuffing this into a tortilla wrap! Will have to try it next time.
