Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Slice the English muffins in half and place them on a baking tray.
Butter each half of the muffin with 1/2 tablespoon of butter.
Place the buttered muffins in the preheated oven to toast for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add the spinach to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining salt and black pepper.
Pour the eggs over the wilted spinach in the frying pan, stirring gently until the eggs are scrambled and cooked through.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
Remove the toasted muffins from the oven, and turn off the oven.
Layer each muffin half with scrambled eggs and spinach, then a slice of tomato, and finally sprinkle with 30 grams of cheddar cheese.
Return the muffins to the warm, turned-off oven for 3 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.
Serve the Vegetarian English Breakfast Muffins warm and enjoy.
