    Mmm, that looks really delicious. I love buckwheat but I’ve only ever ground it to use as flour or in buckwheat pasta or pancakes etc, never whole, so I’m going to try this. I even have cottage cheese in the fridge which I don’t often buy :D

    Ummmm… I’m speechless. Your photos are gorgeous, and I’m always on the hunt for a New Kind of Breakfast. I must try this! I’ve never had buckwheat like this, but I did love buckwheat pancakes growing up. Yum!

    This looks fantastic! One idea for the egg, to make it runnier: what if you added the egg halfway through the cooking time?

    That looks very tasty. I never thought of using buckwheat in a savory recipe. I learn something new everyday! Love the linens in your shots by the way : )

    Perhaps if you covered it with aluminum foil for the first 10 minutes then the egg would become rubbery!?

    It certainly sounds lovely!

    Totally inspiring use of ingredients! Buckwheat (so good!), spinach (love the way it tastes green), topped with an egg. I almost picked up a fork to try it your photos are so awesome!

    This looks devine!
    I’d love to try this, but I’m afraid my family is lactose intolerant. Any suggestions on replacements for the cottage cheese?

    Amazeballs! (as the kids say :-) ) Thanks for the fabulous post. I have been doing something super similar lately with brown rice, sauteed onion and kale, avocado and egg. I think I might just do a combo of the two using your buckwheat and adding the cheese. YUM!!! And P.S. – I’m just loving your site to pieces. Love love.

    That looks amazing! The good Russian girl in me adores buckwheat. Any idea whether this will hold in the fridge? I’m thinking everything but the egg, into the fridge the night before, then in the morning, crack the egg, slide the whole thing into the oven before getting in the shower…

    Hi

    I am in Australia and have NO idea what a buckwheat groat is. Can you please tell me what you would substitute it with if you couldn’t find it?

    Thanks!

    I must make this asap for a light dinner or breakfast this very week!!!….I do not happen to have any groats on me at the moment…but I have a package of sarrasin “galette” in the fridge….Would it be possible to lazily skip a step and actually LINE small tart pans/muffin cups with the buckwheat …savoury crêpe/galette…and then your second cheese/spinach mixture and egg?…Eggs+Spinach anything= love…
    for yours truly!,,,

    Thanks for everything you do for your fidel flock of followers…

    I absolutely love this recipe! After a long miserable attempt to find something healthy AND filling in the mornings, this is it. I actually make a large version of this ahead of time and reheat individual portions since I have limited time most mornings and it even reheats really well. The only thing I did add was fresh tomato slices after I heat it. Thank you soooo much for sharing this recipe!
