Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 2 whole grain English muffins
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1/4 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices turkey bacon or turkey sausage
  • 1 small avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or cooking spray


Instructions

  1. Toast English muffins: Split the English muffins in half and lightly toast them until golden brown for a crisp texture.
  2. Prepare eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites and whole eggs with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil or spray a skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully set and fluffy.
  3. Cook turkey bacon or sausage: In a separate skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon or sausage slices until browned and fully cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side depending on thickness.
  4. Assemble sandwiches: On the bottom half of each toasted English muffin, layer fresh spinach leaves. Top the spinach with the cooked eggs, followed by the turkey bacon or sausage, then the sliced avocado, and finish with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Serve: Place the top halves of the English muffins over the filling and serve the sandwiches immediately while warm and fresh.

Notes

  • You can substitute any whole-grain bread for the English muffins.
  • For extra flavor, add a slice of tomato or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Make ahead by cooking the eggs and turkey bacon or sausage in advance, then assemble the sandwich fresh in the morning.
