Ingredients

Scale
  • Cooking spray or 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1/2 white onion, diced
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
  • 1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
  • 6 English muffins (sourdough or whole wheat)
  • 6 cheddar cheese slices

Instructions

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add cooking spray or olive oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about another minute. Remove from heat.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, salt, pepper, and milk until frothy. Fold in the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheese.
  4. Return the skillet over medium heat; pour in the egg mixture and cook gently until set around edges (about 8 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Slice English muffins in half and toast lightly if desired. Layer each muffin half with the egg mixture and top with a slice of cheddar cheese.
  6. Assemble sandwiches by placing the other muffin half on top. Serve immediately or wrap for later use.
