Baked Spinach & Feta Spaghetti Squash

Feta cheese and spinach come together in this comforting baked spaghetti squash recipe. Baking a block of feta with fresh baby spinach and a generous amount of garlic inside the squash half yields a creamy, flavorful mixture once combined. The balsamic glaze adds a bit of sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the briny feta. Opt for cow’s-milk feta for a sharper taste or sheep’s-milk feta if you prefer a more subtle flavor.

Feta, Egg & Spinach Breakfast Taco

It doesn’t get easier than this healthy breakfast taco that’s ready in just five minutes. Kale or arugula will work just as well if you don’t have spinach on hand. If you want an over-hard egg instead, and notice the egg is browning too quickly, add a tablespoon or two of water to the pan to help steam the egg and set the yolk faster.

Bacon, Cheddar & Spinach Strata

This protein-packed breakfast casserole is the perfect recipe for when you have a crowd to feed. The egg mixture needs plenty of time to soak into the bread before baking, so you can prepare it the night before and pop it in the oven in the morning. Whole-wheat sourdough offers a tangy flavor and a boost of fiber, but you can swap it out for regular sourdough or a plain whole-wheat country loaf.
