Spinach, Egg and Sexy Tomatoes!

There is a market stall at the Jan Power’s markets that sells the most beautiful tomatoes: Red, Yellow, Green, Pink, Purple, Orange, … no I’m not starting a rendition of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat! They are delicious, real-tasting tomatoes in a wide variety of colours and flavours. They also sell the seeds. It seems they source some of the seeds from overseas (try saying that 5 times fast!) A lot of Heirloom varieties. Darren and I purchased some a while back, they sprouted, but they didn’t take. Lets just say I’m not blaming the seeds.

 
So, I decided to make a bit of brunch with my beautiful tomatoes. I LOVE going out for breakfast with friends, but I’m a bit of a cheap-skate, and know how much it really costs to put that food on my $17.50 plate. So, I like to make it myself sometimes.  However, there was no girly gossip session here. Just yummy Tomatoes! oh… and Spinach! I used a frozen cube of spinach. It’s cheap, and it won’t go off before you remember to use it! But please use fresh spinach if you have it.
 
This is a great meal, it has 2 serves of Carbohydrate, 3 Serves of Vegetable, 1 Protein and 1/2 serve of Dairy. A good all-rounder meal.
 
 
 
1 Cube of frozen spinach (or fresh… please use fresh if you have it! – trim the stalks off)
A handful of Small and Sexy Tomatoes – lots of varieties, larger ones cut to the same size as the smaller ones.
2 pieces of multigrain toast
1 egg
Ricotta
Parmesan
Pepper
 
1. Cook the spinach in boiling water, then drain and squeeze out excess water
2. Fry egg and chuck the tomatoes into the pan next to it. Wiggle them around a bit, just a little bit.  :)
 
To plate:
Place the egg on one piece of toast, the spinach on the other. Top spinach with dollops of ricotta and a crush of pepper. Drop the tomatoes next to it and grate some Parmesan over the top.

    Looks amazing. I have also tried to grow some heirloom varieties and found that they germinate a lot slower than your typical garden variety but then I neglected to water them one blisteringly hot and windy day and lost the lot.
