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
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
  • 6 English muffins – sourdough or whole wheat
  • 6 cheddar cheese slices

Instructions

  1. Heat cooking spray or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion until it turns translucent.
  2. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until it wilts. Set this veggie mixture aside.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the large eggs, egg whites, milk, kosher salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into a greased baking dish. Incorporate the sautéed veggies and shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and just slightly golden.
  6. Once the egg mixture cools slightly, slice it into portions. Layer it onto toasted English muffins, topping with sliced cherry tomatoes and a slice of cheddar cheese. Finally, place the muffin tops on and enjoy!
