Ingredients
- 1 Whole grain English muffin
- 2 slices Turkey bacon
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 slice Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.25 medium Avocado
- 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 cup Spinach
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Step 2
Place the turkey bacon slices in the skillet and cook until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Once cooked, set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Step 3
While the bacon is cooking, slice the whole grain English muffin in half and toast it to your desired level of crispness.
Step 4
In the same skillet used for the bacon, pour in the egg whites and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the eggs are fully set but still moist.
Step 5
Add the low-fat cheddar cheese slice on top of the cooked egg whites. Cover the skillet with a lid for about a minute to melt the cheese.
Step 6
Mash 1/4 of a medium avocado and spread it evenly on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin.
Step 7
Layer the cooked spinach on top of the mashed avocado.
Step 8
Place the cheesy egg whites and turkey bacon onto the spinach-topped muffin half, then close with the top muffin half.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast sandwich!
