How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 1 english muffin(s), toasted
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons pesto (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 to 2 slices tomato
- 1 slice mozzarella or provolone cheese (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 small handful spinach (optional)
- salt, pepper, and garlic powder, to taste
- cooking oil or butter, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Warm a lightly oiled or buttered skillet over medium-high heat until it’s hot enough that a drop of water sizzles on contact. Carefully crack the eggs into opposite sides of the pan. Season the eggs well with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let the eggs cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the edges are crispy. Use a spatula to gently flip the eggs over and turn off the heat. Cover one of the eggs with the slice of cheese and let sit in the hot pan, covered, while you assemble the sandwich.
- Step 2: Smear the pesto on both sides of the toasted english muffin and add a little bit of spinach to the bottom bun. Gently place the eggs over the spinach (don't worry if the yolk breaks — it will still taste delicious). Top the eggs with the tomato and cover with the top of the english muffin.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately.
