Split the whole wheat English muffin and toast it in a toaster or toaster oven to your preference.
While the muffin is toasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the turkey bacon. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until crispy. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter. Once melted, crack the egg into the skillet. Allow the whites to set before gently flipping and cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the yolk reaches desired doneness. Season with a pinch of black pepper.
While the egg is cooking, use a fork to mash the avocado quarter in a small bowl.
Once the English muffin is toasted, spread the mashed avocado on one half, then layer with the fresh spinach leaves.
Place the cooked egg on top of the spinach, followed by the slice of Swiss cheese, and then the crispy turkey bacon strip.
Top with the other half of the English muffin, pressing gently to secure the sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium Mighty McMuffin!
