Ingredients
- 2 Whole grain English muffins
- 4 Large eggs
- 4 patty Low-fat turkey sausage
- 2 slice Sliced cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to keep the muffins warm.
Step 2
Split the whole grain English muffins in half and lightly toast them. Then, place them on a baking sheet in the oven to keep warm.
Step 3
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the turkey sausage patties to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until fully cooked and browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, crack the eggs. You can use round cookie cutters or canning rings to maintain a round shape. Season the eggs with salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Cook the eggs over medium heat until the whites are completely set but the yolks are slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes. If you prefer firmer yolks, flip them and cook for an additional minute.
Step 7
During the last minute of cooking, place one slice of cheddar cheese on top of two of the cooked eggs to melt.
Step 8
On each English muffin bottom, layer fresh spinach leaves, a turkey sausage patty, a cheesy egg, and top with the other cooked egg without cheese.
Step 9
Gently close with the top half of the English muffin. Repeat with the other set of ingredients to make the second McMuffin.
Step 10
Serve immediately for a hot, high-protein breakfast delight!
