Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole-grain bread
- 2 slices turkey bacon
- 2 eggs egg whites
- 1 slice low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.25 avocado
- 0.5 cup spinach leaves
- 1 spray olive oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Add the turkey bacon to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and set aside.
While the bacon is cooking, mash the avocado in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper, then mix well.
In the same skillet, pour the egg whites and sprinkle with the remaining salt and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until set, then fold the egg into a square shape for easy sandwich placement.
While the eggs are cooking, toast the whole-grain bread slices to your desired crispness.
Once the eggs are cooked, place the slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on top of the eggs in the skillet to slightly melt.
To assemble the sandwich, spread the mashed avocado evenly on one slice of toasted bread.
Layer with fresh spinach leaves, followed by the turkey bacon, cheesy eggs, and top with the remaining slice of bread.
Slice the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately.
