Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Whole wheat English muffin
- 2 slices Low sodium turkey bacon
- 1 Large egg
- 1 Low sodium cheddar cheese slice
- 0.5 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 spray Cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and apply cooking spray.
Add low sodium turkey bacon slices to the skillet. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the whole wheat English muffin in half and toast it lightly in a toaster.
In the same skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Crack the large egg into the skillet, and let it cook sunny-side up until the white is set but the yolk is still slightly runny. Sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper for taste.
Place the fresh spinach leaves on the hot English muffin bottom half to slightly wilt the leaves.
Layer the cooked turkey bacon over the spinach leaves, followed by the low sodium cheddar cheese slice.
Gently place the cooked egg on top of the cheese. Finish by placing the other half of the toasted English muffin on top, pressing down gently.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium bacon and egg McMuffin.
