Start by splitting the whole wheat English muffin in half and toasting it to your desired level of crispness.
While the muffin is toasting, spray a small non-stick skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium heat.
Add the spinach leaves to the skillet and sautΓ© for about 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg whites with the black pepper and salt.
Pour the egg whites into the skillet, forming a patty shape, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until set, flipping halfway through.
Meanwhile, slice the avocado and mash it lightly with a fork.
To assemble the McMuffin, spread the mashed avocado on one half of the toasted English muffin.
Top the avocado with the cooked egg whites, followed by the sautΓ©ed spinach, a slice of tomato, and the slice of low-fat cheddar cheese.
Place the other half of the English muffin on top to create a sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy Mighty McMuffin.
