Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Split and lightly toast the whole wheat English muffins in a toaster until golden brown.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil cooking spray.
Add the spinach and sauté for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the egg whites, salt, and black pepper, scrambling gently until fully cooked.
Add the chopped green onions and continue cooking for another minute. Remove from heat.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 3–5 minutes or until the cheese is just melted.
Remove from the oven, top with the other half of the English muffin, and serve warm.
