Ingredients

  • 8 pieces egg whites
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors)
  • 0.5 cup red onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 pieces whole grain English muffins
  • 4 slices low-fat cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites with half a teaspoon of salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Chop the bell peppers and red onion into small, uniform pieces.

Step 4

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the heated pan. Add the red onion and bell peppers to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.

Step 6

Grease the pan lightly with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then pour in the egg whites.

Step 7

Allow the egg whites to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes or until they begin to set around the edges.

Step 8

Gently scramble the egg whites until fully cooked but still soft, about 2 more minutes.

Step 9

Slice the whole grain English muffins in half and lightly toast them either in your toaster or on the grill pan.

Step 10

Assemble the sandwich by layering the cooked vegetables and egg whites on the bottom half of each muffin. Place a slice of low-fat cheese on top of the eggs.

Step 11

Top with the other half of the muffin and press gently.

Step 12

Optional: For an extra touch, place the assembled sandwiches on the grill for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.

Step 13

Serve immediately and enjoy this nutritious, heart-healthy breakfast!
