Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 2 units large egg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 0.5 cup fresh baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons low sodium cheese (optional)
Instructions
Start by finely chopping the fresh chives and rinsing the baby spinach under cold water. Set them aside to dry on a clean kitchen towel.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl to easily remove any shell fragments, then gently pour them into the heated skillet.
Cook the eggs to your preferred consistency. For a sunny-side-up egg, cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set.
While the eggs are cooking, toast the two slices of whole grain bread until they're golden brown.
Once the eggs are done, sprinkle ground black pepper over them for seasoning.
Assemble the toasts by laying down the fresh spinach leaves on the toasted bread slices.
Place the cooked eggs on top of the spinach layer. Optionally, sprinkle low sodium cheese evenly over the eggs if desired.
Garnish with chopped fresh chives for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve immediately while the toast is warm and eggs are perfectly cooked.
