I wish I was one of those people who woke up on Sunday morning and couldn’t wait to make a big, delicious breakfast. Instead I am normally content with coffee and picking at things in the house until lunch time. However, this weekend I woke up in the mood to cook breakfast and wanted something savory. I had some polenta I wanted to use so I built a simple and quick recipe from that. I was really happy with the results and next time I may even add in some cheese. This would also make a great dinner or side dish without the eggs.
Breakfast Polenta with Spinach, Bacon, and an Egg
Servings: 4
Serving Size: 1/4 of recipe
Nutritional Info: 197.4 calories, 7.6 g fat, 21.1 g carbohydrates, 2.1 g fiber, 10.7 g protein * 8 P+
Ingredients
4 slices of bacon, chopped into small pieces
1 small onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves
1 roll of polenta (normally 14-16 ounces), cut into small squares
4 handfuls of spinach
4 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. In a medium-high saute pan, saute your bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside. Leave the bacon grease in the pan to cook the rest of the ingredients and infuse them with bacon flavor.
2. Add onion and garlic to the pan, saute for 4-6 minutes until the onions begin to become translucent. Add the polenta cubes and cook for 4-6 minutes until cooked through and crispy on the outside. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, usually about 1-2 minutes. Pour the polenta mixture into a side dish. Stir in the bacon.
4. In the same pan, add the 4 eggs and cook to your liking. I prefer my yolks runny for this recipe so it can break open and combine with all the other yummy ingredients. Enjoy!

Had this for dinner and it was delicious! Made a few changes though: used baby kale instead of spinach, used turkey bacon instead of pork bacon, and used a poached egg instead of fried. Changing out the bacon reduced the point value to 6!
BTW, because kale is naturally a little salty IMO, I didn’t add any salt to the recipe. The turkey bacon has enough sodium, too. It didn’t need it.
REALLY GOOD RECIPE!! Thank you!!
