It&#8217;s the perfect breakfast, especially on a weekend. I got up at 5:30 AM this morning to start working in the yard. It&#8217;s supposed to be 100 degrees today, so I didn&#8217;t want to get over heated by waiting until later in the day. I&#8217;ve only been up for 4 hours and I&#8217;m already exhausted. The yard is really shaping up, so it was worth getting up early. There is still furniture to be cleaned, plants to be planted, a few more weeds to be pulled and chair cushions to be put out. All of this is in preparation for our 4th of July party.<\/p>\n<p>I worked up quite the appetite and I had protein on my mind. So yes, crazy blogging girl decided to bust out a recipe and blog post to relax.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Ingredients:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-491\" title=\"ingredients\" src=\"http:\/\/foodiddy.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/06\/ingredientsdsc02162.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>1 Cup Frozen Spinach<br \/>\n6 pieces of Round Canadian Bacon<br \/>\n1\/2 Cup Egg Whites<br \/>\n1\/2 Small\u00a0Chopped\u00a0Shalott<br \/>\n1\/4 Cup Shredded Gruy\u00e8re Cheese<br \/>\nSplash of Olive Oil<br \/>\nFew Shakes of Smoked Paprika<br \/>\nSalt and Ground Pepper to Taste<\/p>\n<p>Preheat\u00a0Oven to 375 degrees<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-492\" title=\"spinach\" src=\"http:\/\/foodiddy.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/06\/spinachdsc02166.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I saut\u00e9ed\u00a0the spinach in a little olive oil with the shallots, salt and pepper.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-493\" title=\"canadian bacon\" src=\"http:\/\/foodiddy.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/06\/bacondsc02168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I formed my Canadian bacon cups in a non-stick muffin pan and then added about 1 heaping\u00a0tablespoon of the spinach and onion mixture to each cup.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-494\" title=\"pour\" src=\"http:\/\/foodiddy.files.wordpress.com\/2010\/06\/pourdsc02171.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I whisked the egg whites with a little ground pepper and smoked paprika and then poured them to the edge of the Canadian\u00a0bacon. I placed the muffin pan in the 375 degree oven for 12 minutes. The egg whites were\u00a0almost done cooking. I added the shredded Gruy\u00e8re\u00a0cheese to the tops and put them back in the oven for\u00a02 more minutes.\u00a0 I used a kitchen knife to loosen the edges of the Canadian bacon and I popped them onto a plate.
