Brunch! I gain so much inspiration eating out and love remaking favorites at home. I was also so glad I subbed the toast for tomatoes. Sunny side up eggs Sautéed spinach with EVOO and garlic Tomatoes with basil and balsamic Avocado with EVOO and Black Sea salt ETC. The Black Sea salt made this simple breakfast. Flavored salts can add a great element to different dishes.
