Instructions

Saute the spinach: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and sauté the fresh spinach until it wilts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the spinach from the skillet and set it aside.
Prepare the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together the 4 large eggs with 1/4 cup milk (optional), and season with salt and pepper to taste to make the eggs fluffy and flavorful.
Cook the scrambled eggs: Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble the eggs until fully cooked but still moist and soft.
Toast English muffins: Toast the split whole grain English muffins until golden brown, either in a toaster or under the broiler for a minute or two.
Assemble the sandwiches: On the bottom half of each toasted English muffin, layer the scrambled eggs, the sautéed spinach, a slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese, tomato slices, and avocado slices.
Finish and serve: Place the other half of the English muffin on top to complete the sandwich, then serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

Add turkey bacon or a veggie sausage patty for extra protein.
Use egg whites or plant-based egg substitutes to make a lighter or vegan-friendly version.
Assemble the sandwiches ahead of time and wrap them in foil to reheat for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.
