Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Whole-grain English muffin
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 strip Turkey bacon
- 1 slice Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 handful Spinach leaves
- Olive oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with olive oil spray.
Place the whole-grain English muffin halves in a toaster and toast until golden brown.
In the heated skillet, cook the turkey bacon strip for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy. Remove and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg whites into the same skillet. Season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the egg whites are set, gently stirring occasionally.
Once the egg whites are cooked, fold them to fit the size of the English muffin, if necessary, and place the slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on top of the eggs to melt slightly.
Layer the cooked egg whites with melted cheese, the crispy turkey bacon, and spinach leaves within the toasted English muffin.
Assemble the sandwich by topping with the other half of the English muffin, and enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast sandwich immediately.
