Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole grain English muffin
- 2 slices Low sodium turkey bacon
- 1 large Egg
- 1 slice Low sodium cheddar cheese slice
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh spinach leaves
Directions
Step 1
Split the whole grain English muffin in half and lightly toast both sides to your preferred level of crispiness.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the low sodium turkey bacon. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, melt unsalted butter. Crack the egg into the skillet and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Cook the egg to your desired doneness (3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or 5-6 minutes for a firm yolk).
Step 4
In the last minute of cooking the egg, place the low sodium cheddar cheese slice over the egg to allow it to melt slightly.
Step 5
Assemble the sandwich by placing fresh spinach leaves on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin. Layer the cooked turkey bacon strips over the spinach.
Step 6
Next, gently place the cooked egg with the melted cheese on top of the bacon.
Step 7
Finish by placing the top half of the English muffin over the egg and press down gently.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy this hearty, low sodium breakfast sandwich!
