Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole-grain English muffin
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 slice Turkey bacon
- 0.5 cup Fresh spinach
- 1 slice Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 spray Olive oil cooking spray
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the whole-grain English muffin in half and lightly toast it in a toaster or toaster oven.
In a small non-stick skillet, lightly coat the pan with olive oil cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Add the egg whites to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, gently stirring until they are set but still tender. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then set aside.
Using the same skillet, cook the turkey bacon slice until lightly crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Briefly sauté the fresh spinach in the skillet with a quick spray of olive oil cooking spray until just wilted, about 1 minute.
Assemble the sandwich: Place the cooked turkey bacon on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin, add the sautéed spinach, the cooked egg whites, and lastly top with the slice of low-fat cheddar cheese. Close the sandwich with the top half of the muffin.
Optional: Wrap the sandwich in foil or parchment paper to keep it warm and portable if eating on the go.
Serve immediately or refrigerate and reheat in a microwave for 30 seconds if preparing in advance.
