Vegetarian breakfast sandwiches layered with fluffy baked eggs, sautéed spinach, cherry tomatoes, and melted cheddar, served on toasted English muffins. Clean, wholesome, and ideal for meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil or cooking spray
  • ½ white onion, diced
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 egg whites
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • 6 English muffins (whole wheat or sourdough)
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan well.
  2. In a skillet over medium-low heat, warm the olive oil. Add diced onions and sauté 2–3 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs and egg whites for 30 seconds. Add milk, salt, and pepper.
  5. Fold in shredded cheddar, sliced tomatoes, and cooled spinach mixture.
  6. Pour egg mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, until eggs are set and firm in the center. Cool slightly.
  7. Meanwhile, slice and toast the English muffins on a separate baking sheet in the same oven for 10 minutes. At minute 7, place a slice of cheddar on each muffin bottom to melt for final 3 minutes.
  8. Using a round cutter or jar lid, cut egg portions to fit the muffins.
  9. Assemble each sandwich by placing a round of egg on the bottom half with cheese, then top with the muffin lid.
  10. Serve immediately or wrap and refrigerate/freeze for later. Reheat in microwave before serving.

Notes

  • Use cooking spray as an alternative to olive oil for lower fat content.
  • Make egg bake a day ahead for faster morning assembly.
  • Store wrapped sandwiches in fridge (up to 4 days) or freezer (up to 1 month).
  • Use a sharp cutter or lid to ensure clean, uniform egg rounds.
  • Try sourdough muffins for added flavor depth.
