Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Whole grain English muffins
- 4 Large eggs
- 4 patty Low-fat turkey sausage
- 2 slice Sliced cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to keep the muffins warm.
Split the whole grain English muffins in half and lightly toast them. Then, place them on a baking sheet in the oven to keep warm.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the turkey sausage patties to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until fully cooked and browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, crack the eggs. You can use round cookie cutters or canning rings to maintain a round shape. Season the eggs with salt and black pepper.
Cook the eggs over medium heat until the whites are completely set but the yolks are slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes. If you prefer firmer yolks, flip them and cook for an additional minute.
During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of cheddar cheese on top of two of the cooked eggs to melt.
On each English muffin bottom, layer fresh spinach leaves, a turkey sausage patty, a cheesy egg, and top with the other cooked egg without cheese.
Gently close with the top half of the English muffin. Repeat with the other set of ingredients to make the second McMuffin.
Serve immediately for a hot, high-protein breakfast delight!
