Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece whole wheat English muffin
- 0.25 large fresh avocado
- 0.5 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 slice low-sodium deli turkey or chicken
- 1 slice low-sodium cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh spinach
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Slice the whole wheat English muffin in half and lightly toast it in a toaster or oven until golden brown.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork and add a pinch of black pepper. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, crack the egg into the skillet and cook until the white is set but the yolk remains runny, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional minute if you prefer the yolk firmer.
Spread the unsalted butter evenly over the inside of the toasted English muffin halves.
On the bottom half of the muffin, layer the mashed avocado, followed by the spinach leaves.
Place the cooked egg on top of the spinach, then add the low-sodium deli turkey or chicken slice.
Top with the low-sodium cheddar cheese slice, allowing it to slightly melt from the warmth of the egg.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the English muffin, gently pressing down to hold everything together.
Serve immediately for a deliciously satisfying low sodium breakfast.
