  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 English muffins (sourdough or whole wheat)
  • 1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Dice onion and slice cherry tomatoes.
  2. Sauté vegetables: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add onion, sauté until translucent (3-4 minutes), then add spinach and cook until wilted (2 minutes).
  3. Whisk eggs: In a bowl, combine eggs, egg whites, salt, pepper, and milk; whisk until blended.
  4. Cook egg mixture: Pour into the skillet with veggies; cook on low heat until edges set (5 minutes) and stir occasionally until fully cooked.
  5. Assemble sandwiches: Split English muffins; layer cheese on each half, spoon egg mixture over the cheese, top with tomatoes and another slice of cheese.
  6. Finalize cooking: Return assembled sandwiches to the skillet; cook on low until cheese melts (3-5 minutes). Serve immediately or cool for storage.
