Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large large eggs
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (washed and chopped)
  • 4 slices whole grain bread or sandwich rolls
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a non-stick skillet, add the olive oil or butter over medium heat.
  2. Once the pan is hot, add the chopped spinach. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until wilted.
  3. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the sautéed spinach in the skillet. Stir gently to scramble the eggs, allowing them to cook until just set (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. While the eggs are finishing, toast your bread lightly if desired. Spread the scrambled egg and spinach mixture equally onto two slices. Top with the remaining slices of bread.
  5. You can enjoy your sandwiches immediately or wrap them up for meal prep.

Notes

Egg Substitutes: For those looking to switch things up, using egg whites or even a plant-based egg alternative is an excellent Halal-friendly choice. Timing: Scramble your eggs just until set; they will continue to cook slightly after removing from heat due to carryover cooking. Avoid Overcooking: Keep a keen eye on the spinach; overcooked spinach can lose its vibrant color and fresh taste. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for a month.
