Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Whole grain English muffins
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 Turkey sausage patties
- 2 Low-fat cheddar cheese slices
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by splitting the whole grain English muffins in half and toasting them until golden brown.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Place the turkey sausage patties into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and fry to your preference (sunny-side-up or over-easy).
In a microwave-safe dish, place the fresh spinach and microwave on high for 30 seconds until wilted. Alternatively, you can sauté the spinach in the skillet for about 1 minute.
Assemble the Mighty McMuffins by placing a turkey sausage patty on the bottom half of each toasted muffin.
Layer a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the sausage patty, followed by the fried egg and a portion of wilted spinach.
Complete by placing the top half of the muffin over the assembled ingredients.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious High Protein Mighty McMuffin!
