Description

A nutritious and delicious healthy breakfast sandwich featuring eggs, whole grain English muffin, fresh spinach, tomato, avocado, and low-fat cheddar cheese. Quick to prepare on the stovetop, this sandwich is perfect for a wholesome morning meal.


Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 whole grain English muffin, split and toasted
  • 1 slice low-fat cheddar cheese
  • 1 small avocado, sliced
  • 1 handful fresh spinach
  • 2 slices tomato
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or 1 teaspoon olive oil


Instructions

  1. Prepare the skillet: Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray or olive oil and heat it over medium heat to prevent sticking and prepare for cooking the eggs.
  2. Cook the eggs: Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are set. Flip the eggs if you prefer over-easy or over-hard yolks, ensuring they reach your desired doneness.
  3. Toast the English muffin: While the eggs cook, toast the English muffin halves until they are golden brown and crispy to add texture to the sandwich.
  4. Assemble the sandwich: On the bottom half of the toasted English muffin, layer fresh spinach, tomato slices, the cooked egg, a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese, and sliced avocado. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Finish and serve: Top the assembled sandwich with the other half of the English muffin and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
