What you’ll need

Ingredients

Let’s do this

  1. 1

    Toast the English muffins. Beat eggs with milk and pepper in a small bowl.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add spinach and stir for about 1 minute until wilted.

  3. 3

    Pour in the eggs. Stir slowly for 2–3 minutes until fully set, with no runny egg remaining. Egg dishes should reach 160°F.

  4. 4

    Divide the eggs into two mounds in the pan, add half a cheese slice to each, and cover off the heat for 30 seconds.

  5. 5

    Fill each muffin with tomato and one cheesy egg mound. Wrap in parchment if breakfast needs to travel.
