Spinach Breakfast Stacks

Serves 4 (1 serving = 1 stack)
 
4 Dr. Praeger’s Spinach Pancakes, cooked according to package directions
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large or 2 small tomatoes, cored and diced (about 2 cups)
¼ cup chopped basil, plus more for garnish
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon fresh-ground pepper
3 tablespoons whole or low-fat milk
3 tablespoons water
 
 
  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes and cook until they begin to release their liquid and soften, about 5 minutes. Add basil, salt and pepper and cook until basil is wilted. Add milk and water and cook an additional minute, until sauce thickens. Remove from heat, cover with foil to keep warm and reserve.
  2. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray over high heat. Crack eggs into skillet and cook until whites are set, 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. While eggs are cooking, gently reheat Dr. Praeger’s Spinach Pancakes in a low oven and re-warm tomato sauce, adding a little water if sauce has thickened too much.
  4. Place one pancake on a plate and top with a fried egg. Spoon about ¼ cup creamy tomato-basil sauce over each stack. Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately.
 


Other quick ideas for using Dr. Praeger’s Spinach Pancakes

Instead of lettuce leaves, layer a spinach pancake with thinly sliced smoked turkey and light Swiss cheese for a new take on an open-face sandwich. Sauté chunks of fresh salmon, then serve on top of a spinach pancake with a light Hollandaise sauce for a healthier take on eggs Benedict for brunch. Saute onions, bell peppers and tomatoes and serve as a savory relish on top of a spinach pancake. Use defrosted, uncooked spinach pancakes as the base for an easy creamed spinach: Combine sautéed shallots and garlic, defrosted pancakes, milk, nutmeg, salt and pepper in a saucepan and cook until creamy. Serve as an easy side dish.
