Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole wheat English muffins
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup spinach
- 8 cherry tomatoes
- 4 slices Canadian bacon
- 1 avocado
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the whole wheat English muffins in half and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until combined. Pour the eggs over the spinach in the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the avocado.
Once the eggs are cooked, assemble the muffins: on each muffin half, place a slice of Canadian bacon, a spoonful of the scrambled eggs, a few cherry tomato halves, some avocado slices, and a generous sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
Place the baking sheet with assembled muffins in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and the muffins are warmed through, about 5 minutes.
Serve immediately for a hearty, protein-packed breakfast.
