Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Whole grain English muffin
- 3 large Egg whites
- 1 slice Fat-free cheddar cheese
- 1 slice Turkey bacon
- 5 leaves Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the egg whites into the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Allow the egg whites to cook undisturbed until they begin to set around the edges, about 2-3 minutes.
Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the egg whites until they are fully cooked through, about 2-3 more minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the turkey bacon until crisp, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain any excess grease.
While the turkey bacon is cooking, split the whole grain English muffin in half and lightly toast it to your preference.
Assemble the sandwich: Place the cooked egg whites on the bottom half of the English muffin, followed by the slice of fat-free cheddar cheese, turkey bacon, and fresh spinach leaves.
Top with the other half of the English muffin and gently press down.
Optionally, wrap the sandwich in foil and let it sit for a minute to allow the cheese to melt slightly from the residual heat. Serve immediately and enjoy!
