Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Whole wheat English muffin
- 2 large eggs Egg whites
- 1 slice Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 handful Spinach leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Begin by splitting the whole wheat English muffin in half and lightly toasting it until golden brown.
While the muffin is toasting, spray a small non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place it over medium heat.
Pour the egg whites into the skillet, season them with salt and black pepper, and cook until they are just set, about 3-4 minutes. Stir occasionally to scramble.
Place a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on top of the cooked egg whites and allow it to melt slightly, about 1 minute.
Add a handful of spinach leaves on top of the cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid for about 1 minute to wilt the spinach slightly.
Once the English muffin is toasted, assemble the sandwich by placing the egg white, cheese, and spinach mixture between the muffin halves.
Press the muffin halves together gently to secure all the ingredients, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately.
