Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Whole grain English muffin
- 2 slices Turkey bacon
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 slice Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.25 medium Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cup Spinach
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Place the turkey bacon slices in the skillet and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once cooked, set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the whole grain English muffin in half and toast it to your desired level of crispness.
In the same skillet used for the bacon, pour in the egg whites and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the eggs are fully set but still moist.
Add the low-fat cheddar cheese slice on top of the cooked egg whites. Cover the skillet with a lid for about a minute to melt the cheese.
Mash 1/4 of a medium avocado and spread it evenly on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin.
Layer the cooked spinach on top of the mashed avocado.
Place the cheesy egg whites and turkey bacon onto the spinach-topped muffin half, then close with the top muffin half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast sandwich!
