Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces high-protein chicken sausages
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 4 pieces whole wheat sandwich rolls
- 4 slices cheddar cheese, sliced
- 1 piece red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 piece yellow onion, sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the chicken sausages on the grill pan and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and browned evenly.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
In another small nonstick skillet, over medium-low heat, crack the eggs and cook until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes.
Slice the sandwich rolls in half and lightly toast each half on a flat pan or toaster.
Once the sausages are cooked, remove them from the grill and place one sausage on the bottom half of each sandwich roll.
Top each sausage with a slice of cheddar cheese, followed by a layer of sautéed peppers and onions, a few baby spinach leaves, and a cooked egg.
Finish by placing the top half of the roll on each sandwich and serve warm.
