Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Components

  • 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)

For Cooking

  • 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 gently 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 for added texture and flavor.
  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 creamy avocado and fresh spinach leaves for freshness and nutrients.
  4. Complete the Sandwich: Cover with the other half of the English muffin to form a complete sandwich, ensuring all ingredients are well layered.
  5. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your protein-packed, delicious breakfast sandwich fresh and warm to experience the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use any cheese of your choice to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs.
  • For a vegan version, substitute the eggs with tofu slices and use vegan cheese alternatives.
  • Add hot sauce or your favorite spread for an extra kick of flavor.
  • You can replace spinach with arugula or kale depending on availability.
  • For a lower calorie option, use egg whites instead of whole eggs.
