Ingredients
- 4 pieces Whole grain English muffins
- 8 large Egg whites
- 8 slices Lean turkey bacon
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Slice the whole grain English muffins in half and place them on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Step 3
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the turkey bacon slices to the skillet and cook until crisp, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 5
Using the same skillet, add the egg whites and scramble them gently. Cook until just set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Add the baby spinach to the scrambled egg whites and stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 7
Place one slice of cooked turkey bacon on the bottom half of each English muffin.
Step 8
Top with a generous spoonful of the egg white and spinach mixture.
Step 9
Sprinkle some low-fat cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 10
Place the top half of the English muffin over each assembly.
Step 11
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the muffins are warm.
Step 12
Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy bacon and egg muffins!
