Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 slice low-sodium cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup baby spinach leaves
Directions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients. Make sure the egg and cheese are at room temperature for even cooking.
Step 2
Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter. Let it melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.
Step 3
Crack the egg into a small bowl and carefully slide it into the skillet, being mindful not to break the yolk.
Step 4
Let the egg cook for 2-3 minutes or until the white is set but the yolk is still soft. Season the egg with freshly ground black pepper to your taste.
Step 5
Carefully place the slice of low-sodium cheddar cheese over the egg. Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Add the baby spinach leaves to the skillet, arranging them around the egg, and allow them to wilt slightly.
Step 7
Once the cheese has melted and the egg is cooked to your desired doneness, use a spatula to carefully transfer the fried egg with cheese and spinach onto a plate.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added freshness and presentation.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, low-sodium breakfast!
