I love breakfast. Breakfast foods are an absolute favorite of mine – from eggs to bacon to bagels to English muffins to waffles and pancakes…ok, you get the picture.
I like to vary up my breakfast from time to time and throw new flavors in with each new recipe attempt.
When I was given the opportunity to try Sargento Thin Slices through Influenster, I jumped at the opportunity! Did I mention I also LOVE cheese?
I even got to choose my favorite flavors from their line of Ultra Thin sliced cheese – and only 40 calories per slice, too! Wahoo!!
Saturday morning after my run, I returned home and made breakfast for Jason and I. A new favorite of ours consists of eggs/egg whites turkey bacon, spinach, and cheese all piled inside a whole wheat English muffin. It’s pure heaven, I tell you!
I’ll leave you with the recipe!
Egg White, Spinach, and Cheese -
Whole Wheat English Muffin
Ingredients:
1 whole wheat English muffin (brand of choice)
1 tsp EVOO
1 egg (may substitute egg whites)
1/4 cup chopped onion (I used frozen)
1 handful of baby spinach or greens of choice
1 slice of turkey bacon
1 slice of Sargento Thin Sliced cheese (flavor of your choice)
Seasoning of choice
Directions
Lightly grease a small pan. Bring to medium heat on stovetop. Add onions and brown (about 3 minutes or so); add spinach or greens and allow to wilt (about 2 minutes). Add egg or egg white mixture to onions/greens mixture. Scramble until no longer wet. Add seasoning of choice if so desired.
Cook turkey bacon according to package instructions.
Toast English muffin until lightly toasted.
Once toasted, remove English muffin from toaster, add sliced cheese, bacon, and eggs – voila!
Serve and enjoy!
I chose Colby Jack cheese for mine complete with a cup of coffee.
Jason asked for Pepper-Jack cheese on his and preferred a glass of orange juice.
Both sandwiches had an awesome flavor, I wouldn’t say I liked one over the other! At only 40 calories per slice, I knew I found a favorite!!
Disclaimer: Although I received this Sargento promotion without cost through Influenster, I’m a lover of cheese and wouldn’t tell you it had a good flavor if it actually didn’t taste good. I did not receive any additional compensation for this review.
What’s your favorite breakfast item? Have you tried anything new lately?
I try not to eat bread, but I absolutely love and adore a good breakfast sandwich. Yours looks delish! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way with bread - this is a special long run treat! :0)
DeleteThat looks so yummy! I love breakfast food...my favorite is eggs! But I'm weird and prefer my breakfast food for dinner lol!
ReplyDeleteOooh breakfast for dinner is so much fun! :D
DeleteThis is pretty close to my breakfast most mornings, except I just use deli meat ham heated up in the pan. Yum yum! I need to start adding spinach though.
ReplyDeleteLove that idea too, Laura!! Ham would be a yummy sub for bacon on this English muffin!
DeleteAhh that looks awesome! I love eggs so that egg/english muffin sandwich sounds perfect!
ReplyDeleteYeah! Let me know what you think if you try it!
DeleteWell, darn it...now I'm hungry again.
ReplyDeleteHaha whoops! Sorry!
DeleteI 2nd your opinion on the Sargento... seriously delish, and I love that they have the 40 cal slice option!
ReplyDeleteYes! That was my favorite part!!
DeleteI love making breakfast like this. I usually use a tortilla for a similar breakfast. Love Cheese ;-)
ReplyDeleteTortillas are a great sub here, too! Might have to try that next time!
DeleteI LOVE cheese. Smoked gouda makes my heart sing!
ReplyDeleteOooohh haven't tried that yet! Sounds amazing!
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by at the Tasty Tuesday linkup party today!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE breakfast sandwiches!!!
Same here!! Thanks for hosting!
DeleteYUM! I have bought the Ultra Thin slices before, and I am a big fan. It's nice to have fewer calories per portion without buying the scary singles. I like to do the pepper jack on an egg sandwich with some avocado.
ReplyDeleteYum! That sounds delicious!! I also have you to thank for introducing me to laughing cow...my other favorite low cal cheese option! :D
DeleteI loovveee cheese! I am trying to be better about eating breakfast, I am just not that hungry in the morning!
ReplyDeleteThat's understandable!
DeleteSame here...love me some cheese! :D
Thanks for linking this up today! That worked out perfectly! Ok, I have a bit of a stupid question: you listed EVOO in your ingredient list. Was that used just to oil the pan or did you actually use it in the mix? Sounds yummy. I am terrible at making eggs so I scramble them and put them in our pancake maker. They come out the perfect shape for on an English muffin!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite breakfast food is a large bowl of fruit and any kind of eggs, preferably an omelet or eggs scrambled with salsa and wrapped in a flour tortilla with cheese. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI got that cheese too, and had it on toasted crumpets, was soooo good
ReplyDeleteI ate the cheese in one setting. I love my cheese.
ReplyDeleteI ate the whole package. I couldnt help myself. It tastes so good.
