Spinach Artichoke Eggs Benedict with Roasted Tomatoes and Mushrooms

Eggs Benny is my all-time favorite breakfast.  I wasn't sure if spinach and artichokes would go well with it, but thought I would give it a shot.  It actually turned out really good! I even got Paul's seal of approval (that's a big deal!).

On a baking sheet, toss a few handfuls of cherry tomatoes and 2 cups of portabella mushrooms in olive oil, sea salt, and fresh cracked pepper.  Roast in the oven at 350 for 5-7 minutes.  Set aside.

In a pan, sautee a few bunches of spinach in olive oil and garlic until spinach is soft.  Add 2 cups of artichokes (the kind packed in oil and seasonings).  Cook for a few minutes, then transfer to food processor.  Chop until artichokes are mixed throughout spinach.  Return mixture to pan and add 2 cups of shredded mozzarella.  Add 4 tablespoons of parmesan.  Cook on low until cheese is melted.  Add tomatoes and mushrooms.  Set aside.
Make your favorite hollandaise sauce.
Toast english muffins.
Poach eggs.
Top each muffin with a slice of fresh mozzarella, a spoonful of spinach mixture, a poached egg, then drizzle with hollandaise sauce.  Garnish with feta cheese and fresh cracked pepper.  Serve with breakfast taters and black beans.
