Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Low sodium turkey bacon
- 1 Large egg
- 1 slice Low sodium cheddar cheese
- 1 Whole wheat English muffin
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 leaves Fresh spinach leaves
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 slices of low sodium turkey bacon to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain any excess fat.
While the bacon is cooking, slice the whole wheat English muffin in half and toast it until golden brown using a toaster or oven.
In the same skillet used for the bacon, add 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter and let it melt. Crack the large egg into the skillet and season with 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the egg white is set, then carefully flip the egg and cook for an additional 1 minute, leaving the yolk slightly runny or cooked to your preference.
On the bottom half of the toasted English muffin, place the slice of low sodium cheddar cheese.
Add the cooked egg on top of the cheese, followed by the crispy turkey bacon slices and fresh spinach leaves.
Place the other half of the English muffin on top to make a sandwich. Press gently to combine all ingredients.
Serve immediately and enjoy your wholesome, low sodium breakfast sandwich!
