# What You’ll Need:
→ Bread
01 - 2 whole grain English muffins, split and toasted
→ Eggs
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
04 - Pinch of salt
05 - Pinch of black pepper

# How to Make It:
01 - In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
02 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil or cooking spray. Pour in the egg mixture and scramble gently until just set, approximately 2-3 minutes.
03 - Lay the toasted English muffin halves on a clean surface. Spread Greek yogurt or hummus on the bottom half of each muffin if desired.
04 - Layer spinach leaves, scrambled eggs, a slice of cheese, tomato slices, and avocado on each bottom half. Top with the other muffin half and press gently to secure.
05 - Serve warm immediately or wrap in parchment paper for an on-the-go meal.
# Expert tips:
01 -
- The protein keeps me satisfied straight through lunch, which is honestly kind of magical
- Everything comes together in under twenty minutes, even on my most scatterbrained mornings
- The textures work perfectly together, warm eggs against cool avocado and crisp spinach
02 -
- Overcooking the eggs is the easiest mistake to make, but slightly underdone is better than rubbery
- Assembling immediately matters, cold eggs just do not melt the cheese the same way
03 -
- A perfectly ripe avocado yields to gentle pressure but still holds its shape when sliced
- Warming the cheese slice on top of the scrambled eggs for twenty seconds ensures maximum meltiness
