Ingredients

• 2 slices whole-grain bread
• 2 slices turkey bacon
• 2 eggs egg whites
• 1 slice low-fat cheddar cheese
• 0.25 avocado
• 0.5 cup spinach leaves
• 1 spray olive oil spray
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil.

Step 2

Add the turkey bacon to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until crispy. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

While the bacon is cooking, mash the avocado in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper, then mix well.

Step 4

In the same skillet, pour the egg whites and sprinkle with the remaining salt and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until set, then fold the egg into a square shape for easy sandwich placement.

Step 5

While the eggs are cooking, toast the whole-grain bread slices to your desired crispness.

Step 6

Once the eggs are cooked, place the slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on top of the eggs in the skillet to slightly melt.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwich, spread the mashed avocado evenly on one slice of toasted bread.

Step 8

Layer with fresh spinach leaves, followed by the turkey bacon, cheesy eggs, and top with the remaining slice of bread.

Step 9

Slice the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately.
