- 1 slice Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to toast the English muffin.
Step 2
Slice the whole wheat English muffin in half and place it on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until lightly browned.
Step 3
While the muffin is toasting, heat olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Step 4
Crack the extra-large egg into a bowl and add the milk. Beat lightly with a fork until combined.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture into the heated pan and season with salt and ground black pepper.
Step 6
Cook the egg gently for 1-2 minutes until the whites are mostly set. Stir in the baby spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted and the egg is fully cooked.
Step 7
Place the low-fat cheddar cheese slice on one half of the toasted English muffin.
Step 8
Top the cheese with the cooked egg and spinach mixture, then cover with the remaining muffin half.
Step 9
Allow the cheese to melt slightly from the heat of the egg before serving. Enjoy your high-protein breakfast sandwich hot.
