- 1 Large egg
- 1 slice Low sodium cheddar cheese, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- to taste Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh baby spinach
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
While the skillet is heating, split the whole wheat English muffin into two halves and toast them in a toaster until light golden brown.
Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat it lightly with a fork, adding a pinch of freshly ground black pepper for flavor.
Add unsalted butter to the skillet and allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Pour the beaten egg into the skillet. Allow it to cook for a minute, then gently scramble or fold to create a fluffy texture. Cook for another minute until fully set.
Place the low sodium cheddar cheese slice on the scrambled egg and cover the skillet for about 30 seconds to allow the cheese to melt.
Place fresh baby spinach on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin.
Carefully transfer the cheesy scrambled eggs onto the baby spinach.

Serve the low sodium egg and cheese muffin sandwich warm and enjoy your tasty, heart-friendly breakfast!
