Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole grain English muffin
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 slice Low-sodium cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 slices Tomato
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Split the whole grain English muffin in half and lightly toast it according to your preference.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Crack the egg into the skillet, keeping the yolk intact, and cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until the white is set. Then, gently flip the egg and cook for another minute or until the yolk reaches your desired doneness.
Remove the egg from the skillet and set aside.
Using the same skillet, add the fresh spinach leaves and sauté for about 1 minute until wilted. Remove from heat.
Butter the toasted English muffin halves with 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter.
Place the slice of low-sodium cheddar cheese on the bottom half of the muffin.
Layer the cooked egg over the cheese slice, followed by the sautéed spinach and tomato slices.
Sprinkle the ground black pepper over the egg and vegetables for added flavor.
Top with the second half of the muffin to complete your sandwich.
Serve immediately, while warm, for the best taste.
