Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole grain English muffin
- 2 slices Low sodium turkey bacon
- 1 large Egg
- 1 slice Low sodium cheddar cheese slice
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh spinach leaves
Instructions
Split the whole grain English muffin in half and lightly toast both sides to your preferred level of crispiness.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the low sodium turkey bacon. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt unsalted butter. Crack the egg into the skillet and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Cook the egg to your desired doneness (3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or 5-6 minutes for a firm yolk).
In the last minute of cooking the egg, place the low sodium cheddar cheese slice over the egg to allow it to melt slightly.
Assemble the sandwich by placing fresh spinach leaves on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin. Layer the cooked turkey bacon strips over the spinach.
Next, gently place the cooked egg with the melted cheese on top of the bacon.
Finish by placing the top half of the English muffin over the egg and press down gently.
Serve immediately and enjoy this hearty, low sodium breakfast sandwich!
