Ingredients:

  • 1 burger bun
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup spinach
  • 1/4 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 slice American cheese
  • 1 teaspoon oil or butter, if available

Instructions:

  1. Toast the burger bun so it holds up well and feels more like a breakfast sandwich.
  2. In a small pan, warm the oil or butter over medium heat. Add spinach and grape tomatoes and cook just until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften slightly.
  3. Beat the egg in a small bowl, season lightly with black pepper or your favorite breakfast seasoning, and pour it into the pan.
  4. Cook the egg until fully set, either as a small scramble or folded omelet-style so it fits on the bun.
  5. Place the egg and vegetables on the bun, top with American cheese, and warm briefly until the cheese melts.

Good for: A warm, familiar breakfast sandwich with eggs, greens, tomatoes, and melty cheese.

Optional: Add a small amount of ketchup for a classic breakfast-sandwich flavor, or a squeeze of lemon or lime to brighten the spinach and tomatoes.
