Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece whole wheat English muffin
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 slice sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup spinach
- 3 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 slices cooked turkey bacon
Instructions
Start by lightly toasting the whole wheat English muffin until golden brown. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and beat until combined.
Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and allow them to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes. Gently stir with a spatula until scrambled and just cooked through, about 3 minutes more.
As the eggs are cooking, slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the skillet along with the spinach, stirring lightly until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are slightly softened.
Assemble the sandwich by placing a slice of sharp cheddar cheese on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin, followed by the cooked turkey bacon slices.
Top with the scrambled egg, spinach, and tomato mixture.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the English muffin.
Allow the heat from the eggs to melt the cheese slightly. Serve immediately while warm.
