Why not get your morning off to a great start with this Florentine inspired breakfast? If you love spinach and feta together, you will love this delicious Florentine Scramble.
Why I love this recipe:
The Florentine Scramble recipe is great when entertaining guests for the weekend , serve it up with breakfast sausage or bacon and your guests will be fully satisfied.
This recipe is also a perfect brunch addition. Heartier than eating just plain old scrambled eggs. You can try this with many different variations by adding some red onion or maybe by omitting the mushrooms altogether if you’re not a fan. Prefer mozzarella or cheddar over feta? No problem, it’s still a Florentine dish if the spinach remains!
