Ingredients
- 2 pieces whole grain sandwich thins
- 2 slices turkey bacon
- 4 egg whites
- 2 thin slices reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 handful baby spinach leaves
- 1 spritz avocado oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Start by preheating a non-stick skillet over medium heat and giving it a spritz of avocado oil spray.
Step 2
Cook the turkey bacon slices in the skillet until they are crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Once cooked, remove and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Step 3
In a small bowl, beat the egg whites with salt and pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the egg whites into the same skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are fully set and fluffy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
Slice the sandwich thins if not pre-sliced, and place them in a toaster or toaster oven to lightly toast them until golden brown.
Step 6
To assemble the sandwich, lay a slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each sandwich thin.
Step 7
Top the cheese with the cooked egg whites, followed by a handful of fresh spinach leaves.
Step 8
Place a slice of crispy turkey bacon above the spinach on each sandwich.
Step 9
Finally, cover with the top half of the sandwich thins to complete your sandwich.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy a heart-healthy start to your day!
