A quick and delicious English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich featuring wilted spinach, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted sharp cheddar cheese, perfect for a nutritious start to your day or easy meal prep.
Ingredients
Breakfast Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 English muffins, sliced in half
- 3 large eggs, whisked
- 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (or any melting cheese)
- 2/3 cup chopped spinach
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray, butter, or oil for skillet
Instructions
- Wilt the Spinach: Place a medium skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray or add a bit of butter or oil. Once hot, add the chopped spinach and cook for about 1 minute until wilted.
- Toast English Muffins: While the spinach cooks, toast the English muffins until golden brown and set aside.
- Cook the Eggs: Add the whisked eggs to the skillet with the spinach and cook until done to your liking, about 2-4 minutes. Softer eggs take around 2 minutes. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper as desired.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place the bottom halves of the toasted English muffins on plates or foil if meal prepping. Top each with the cooked eggs and spinach mixture, then evenly divide the shredded cheese between the two sandwiches. Place the muffin tops on and wait about a minute for the cheese to melt.
- Meal Prep Option: Wrap sandwiches in foil and enjoy immediately or store for later. For work, keep wrapped in foil and eat within 15 minutes of arrival for best taste.
- Freezer Meal Prep Option: Wrap sandwiches in foil, place in airtight containers, and freeze. Thaw overnight in the fridge and lightly toast in the morning, or microwave directly from frozen before eating.
Notes
- You can substitute any melting cheese for sharp cheddar according to your preference.
- Adjust salt to your taste, but cheese adds enough saltiness for most.
- To reheat frozen sandwiches, microwave or toast as preferred for best texture.
- Spinach can be swapped with other greens like kale or arugula if desired.
