Spanakopita Breakfast Sandwiches

Description

Traditional spanakopita gets a morning twist in these tasty breakfast sandwiches. Wilted spinach and arugula add color, while a fried egg adds a boost of protein. If you prefer a runnier egg yolk, you can keep it intact (just be careful when you flip it!).

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil , divided
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 5-ounce package baby spinach
  • 3 cups arugula
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 4 whole-wheat English muffins , split and toasted
  • 4 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

STEP 1

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Break eggs, one at a time, into the pan. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 1 to 2 minutes. Break the yolks with a spatula. Flip the eggs and cook until just done, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

STEP 2

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and onion to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 1 minute. Add spinach and arugula in batches and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Add dill, garlic powder, pepper and salt; cook, stirring, for 1 minute more.

STEP 3

To assemble sandwiches, place the eggs on the bottom halves of the English muffins. Top each with 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon feta (reserve excess spinach mixture for another use). Serve topped with the remaining muffin halves.
