Serve these quick and easy breakfast sandwiches with okra "fries" that are roasted and great for dipping. Smarts: We love the unexpected flavor of curry aioli for dipping, but ketchup would also be great if you prefer.

Spinach - Roughly chop spinach. (Can be done up to 2 days ahead)
Toss okra with oil and spread onto a sheet pan. Season with some salt. Roast for 20 minutes, shaking once midway through.
While okra roasts, heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add butter and then shallots and bell peppers to melted butter. Saute until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add eggs. Scramble over low heat until cooked to your liking.
Remove eggs from heat and stir in spinach and cheese. Season with some salt and pepper.
