Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh spinach (washed and lightly sautéed)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices of bread (whole grain, sourdough, or English muffins)
  • 2 slices of cheese, optional (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for cooking and toasting)

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spinach: Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and dry it well. Lightly sauté the spinach in a small amount of butter or olive oil just until wilted to reduce moisture and enhance flavor.
  2. Cook the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and pour in the eggs. Cook gently, stirring for soft scrambled eggs or letting them set flat for a folded omelet, until just cooked through but still creamy.
  3. Toast the Bread: While the eggs cook, toast your chosen bread slices until they are golden brown and slightly crisp to provide texture and hold up well against the filling.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Layer the sautéed spinach, cooked eggs, and cheese (if using) between two slices of toasted bread. Press gently to meld the ingredients together and allow the cheese to melt if added.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the sandwich if desired and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality spinach and eggs for optimum flavor and nutrition.
  • Do not overcook the eggs; keep them soft and creamy for best texture.
  • Ensure the spinach is well dried after washing to avoid soggy sandwiches.
  • Toast bread to a medium level for the perfect crunch that’s easy to bite.
  • Add cheese immediately after cooking the eggs to let it melt perfectly.
