Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Whole grain English muffin
- 1 Large egg
- 1 spritz Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 slice Low-fat Canadian bacon or turkey bacon
- 1 Low-fat cheddar cheese slice
- 0.5 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Split the whole grain English muffin in half and toast both halves until golden brown.
While the muffin is toasting, lightly spritz the skillet with olive oil cooking spray.
Add the slice of Canadian bacon or turkey bacon to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until it is lightly browned and warmed through. Remove and set aside.
Crack the egg into the skillet, ensuring the yolk remains intact. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then gently flip to cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the cooked bacon slice on the bottom half of the toasted muffin.
Lay the fresh spinach leaves over the bacon, followed by the egg and the cheese slice.
Top with the other half of the muffin and allow the cheese to slightly melt from the heat of the egg.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast!
