Healthy Vegetarian Breakfast Sandwich
This quick and easy breakfast sandwich is perfect for a healthy last minute breakfast or lazy morning. Its anti-inflammatory, highly beneficial ingredients make is a great option when you want maximum health with minimum effort. It's one of our weekly favorites!
Ingredients
- 1 Sprouted Grain English Muffin
- 2-3 Egg Whites (or 1/3-1/2 c Egg Whites)
- 1/3 c Kale, chopped or shredded into small pieces
- 1 Green Onion, sliced into rounds
- Optional: 1 slice of Nutrifitx Approved cheese (we used a slice of dairy free smoked Gouda)
- 1/2 Tbsp Olive Oil (or less)
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a small skillet, heat over medium-low heat. Start toasting your English muffin (we use a toaster oven on convection bake at 350 (F) for 10 minutes).
- While muffin is toasting and oil is heating, chop your veggies. Once oil is heated, add the kale and onion and lightly saute. (Approximately 1-2 minutes, or until veggies are to desired texture.)
- Add your egg whites to the skillet, and continue to cook. Try not to scramble the eggs. Keep the egg mixture as solid as possible; otherwise, your sandwich may fall apart while you're eating it. (TIP: Let the egg whites cook without stirring for a minute or two, then use a spatula to "flip" the egg mixture as best you can. The more you gently flip, the more the mixture will want to stick together as a single unit.)
- If you're eating cheese, place or sprinkle on top of egg mix, and cover skillet with a lid. This helps the cheese get nice and melty (especially if you've chosen a dairy-free cheese).
- Cut English muffin in half, build your sandwich, and enjoy!
