How This Recipe Comes Together

Ingredients:

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

Directions:

Cook the veggies: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Use cooking spray or olive oil to coat the pan. Add the diced onion and cook until it is soft, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Prep the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, salt, pepper, and milk until blended. Stir in the shredded cheddar and the cooked veggies.
Bake the eggs: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the egg mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are set. Let it cool completely before slicing.
Build the breakfast sandwiches: Toast the English muffins. Layer a piece of the baked egg, a slice of cheddar cheese, and some sliced cherry tomatoes on each muffin half. Top with the other half of the muffin.
