Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Cottage cheese
• 4 slices Whole grain bread
• 1 cup Spinach leaves
• 1 medium, sliced Tomato
• 1 small, sliced Avocado
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Mustard
• 0.5 cup Alfalfa sprouts

Directions

Step 1

Start by cracking the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them with the cottage cheese until well combined. This addition of cottage cheese will increase the protein content.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges start to set.

Step 3

Using a spatula, gently scramble the eggs by periodically pulling in the cooked edges towards the center, allowing uncooked eggs to flow to the edges. Continue cooking until the eggs are set but still moist, approximately 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

While the eggs are cooking, lightly toast the whole grain bread slices using a toaster or under a broiler until they are golden brown.

Step 5

Spread a tablespoon of mustard on one side of each toasted bread slice for added flavor.

Step 6

To assemble the sandwich, layer fresh spinach leaves on two of the mustard-spread bread slices.

Step 7

Distribute the scrambled eggs evenly on top of the spinach.

Step 8

Next, layer slices of tomato and avocado on top of the eggs for freshness and additional nutrients.

Step 9

Top with alfalfa sprouts to add a crunchy texture.

Step 10

Finish by placing the remaining bread slices on top, mustard side down, pressing gently to hold the sandwich together.

Step 11

Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately.
