Answer: You’d have a pretty wonderful breakfast.
It’s filling, (reasonably) healthy and even quick to make.
And the combination of spicy chard, crisp English muffins and dill is absolutely out of this world.
Give this a shot the next time you’re searching for something a little different in the morning. You’re going to love it.
