How to Make the Healthy Breakfast Sandwich

This recipe makes six sandwiches—ideal for a week of breakfasts. Here’s how I pull it together:

Step 1: Cook the Veggies

1. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat.
2. Spray with cooking spray or add olive oil.
3. Sauté the chopped onion for 2–3 minutes until soft.
4. Toss in the spinach and cook until wilted (about 2 minutes).
5. Remove from heat and let it cool.

And Step 2: Prep the Egg Mixture

1. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and egg whites for about 30 seconds.
2. Add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.
3. Stir in the shredded cheese, sliced cherry tomatoes, and cooled veggie mix.

Step 3: Bake the Eggs

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Spray a 9×13 baking dish generously.
3. Pour in the egg mixture and spread it evenly.
4. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
5. Let cool for a few minutes before cutting.

For Step 4: Toast the Muffins

1. While eggs are baking, slice and arrange English muffins on a baking sheet.
2. Toast in the oven for 10 minutes.
3. After 7 minutes, top the bottoms with cheddar cheese slices.
4. Return to the oven to melt cheese (3 more minutes).

Step 5: Assemble the Sandwiches

1. Use a round cutter (or mason jar lid) to cut the baked eggs into circles.
2. Place egg rounds on the muffin halves without cheese.
3. Top with the cheesy muffin halves.
4. Press gently and wrap if storing.
