If we are ever confused about what to eat for breakfast, we always have eggs to turn to. This protein-rich food is a breakfast staple, and the best quality about it is that it can be made and consumed in several ways. You can boil it, fry it, poach it or bake it; and you can pair it with any food you like. If you intend to make a powerful breakfast replete with proteins, combine your eggs with spinach and make this swoon-worthy baked spinach and eggs dish that you would want to have every day.

Eggs and spinach come together in this 'bowl of energy' for a high-power, high-protein breakfast for those times when you are feeling sluggish and have to drag yourself out of the bed.
