Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 English muffins, sliced in half
- 3 large eggs, whisked
- ¼ cup sharp cheddar cheese (or any melting cheese)
- ⅔ cup chopped spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Ingredients
- Cooking spray or a small amount of butter/oil
Instructions
- Wilt the Spinach: Place a medium skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray or add a small amount of butter or oil. Once hot, add the chopped spinach and cook for about 1 minute until wilted.
- Toast the Muffins: While the spinach cooks, toast the English muffin halves until they are lightly browned and crisp.
- Cook the Eggs: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the spinach and cook for 2 to 4 minutes based on your preference. For softer eggs, cook about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste after removing from heat.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place the bottom halves of the toasted English muffins on plates or foil (if meal prepping). Divide the cooked eggs evenly on top, then sprinkle the cheese over the eggs. Top each sandwich with the muffin tops. Allow the cheese to melt for about a minute.
- Meal Prep and Serving: For immediate enjoyment, serve right away. For meal prep, wrap the sandwiches in foil. If taking to work, enjoy within 15 minutes of preparation.
- Freezer Storage: For freezer meal prep, wrap sandwiches tightly in foil and store in an airtight container in the freezer. To enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge and lightly toast in the morning, or microwave directly from frozen until heated through.
Notes
- Use any melting cheese you prefer besides sharp cheddar for flavor variations.
- Adjust salt based on your cheese’s saltiness to avoid over-seasoning.
- For fluffier eggs, consider gently stirring while cooking.
- Spinach can be substituted with other leafy greens like kale or arugula based on availability.
- Microwaving from frozen might slightly soften the muffin but is convenient for busy mornings.
