Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped baby spinach
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper, divided
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 whole-grain English muffin, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add spinach, garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon pepper and salt; cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the pan. Break egg into the pan; sprinkle with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Cook until set on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Break the yolk, then flip the egg and cook, undisturbed, until set, about 1 minute more.

Place the spinach on an English muffin half. Sprinkle with cheese, then top with the fried egg and remaining muffin half.
