Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole wheat English muffin
- 1 piece Extra-large egg
- 1 slice Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to toast the English muffin.
Slice the whole wheat English muffin in half and place it on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned.
While the muffin is toasting, heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Crack the extra-large egg into a bowl and add the milk. Beat lightly with a fork until combined.
Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan and season with salt and ground black pepper.
Cook the egg gently for 1-2 minutes until the whites are mostly set. Stir in the baby spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted and the egg is fully cooked.
Place the low-fat cheddar cheese slice on one half of the toasted English muffin.
Top the cheese with the cooked egg and spinach mixture, then cover with the remaining muffin half.
Allow the cheese to melt slightly from the heat of the egg before serving. Enjoy your high-protein breakfast sandwich hot.
