Grown-up Breakfast-For-Dinner

We often resort to a breakfast-for-dinner meal on a busy weeknight.  Eggs and toast with some beans or leftover roast meat. It's quick and filling and typically garners very few complaints from the peanut gallery.
Last night I stepped up my game (much to the kids' dismay!) They preferred my B-game and opted for pita pizza instead.  The grown-ups poached some eggs and served them over a warm lentil-veggie-bacony hash and it was fantastic!  Maybe lentils aren't your thing, but if you want a hearty, protein-rich breakfast/dinner option minus the bread, this is worth a try. This can just as easily be a meatless dish if you omit the bacon, but Jim Gaffigan's does make a pretty compelling argument for bacon in his stand-up routine which can be viewed here.
Dice 4-5 strips of good quality bacon and saute until starting to brown.  Add a finely chopped small red onion, 3 cloves of garlic, half a leek, a couple leafy stalks of celery and a couple of carrots, and continue to saute in the bacony goodness or olive oil (if you are going meatless) until the bacon is fully cooked and the veggies are tender, but not mushy.  At this point I threw in a generous splash of white wine, but chicken or veggie broth would work too.  You don't want too much liquid here, but enough that the mixture is moist, not soupy. A few big handfuls of baby spinach, stirring until wilted, followed by one 19 oz tin of rinsed, drained lentils (don't over-stir or your lentils will get mushy), and more broth if needed, salt and pepper to taste, spoon the desired amount on your bowl or plate and top with a poached egg, and voila!
