Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 2 whole grain English muffins, split and toasted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • 1/4 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup spinach leaves (or arugula)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil and Cook Eggs: Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are fully set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip the eggs and cook an additional 1 minute or until yolks reach your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Toast the Muffins: While the eggs are cooking, toast the English muffins until they are golden brown and slightly crisp.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Place one cooked egg on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the egg, then add a few slices of avocado and fresh spinach leaves.
  4. Complete the Sandwich: Cover with the other half of the English muffin to form a complete sandwich.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your protein-packed, delicious breakfast sandwich fresh and warm for the best flavors.

Notes

  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with any cheese of your choice like mozzarella or pepper jack.
  • For a vegan version, use tofu scramble and vegan cheese alternatives.
  • Add extra veggies such as tomatoes or bell peppers for more flavor and nutrition.
  • Use gluten-free English muffins if you need a gluten-free option.
  • The eggs can be cooked to your preference, whether over-easy, over-medium, or fully cooked yolks.
