Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Components
- 2 English muffins, split
- 4 strips smoked turkey bacon
- 2 slices plant-based cheese slices
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 4 tomato slices
- 1 large egg
Seasonings and Cooking Essentials
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the Smoked Turkey Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a dash of olive oil. Lay the smoked turkey bacon strips in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until crisp and golden. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Toast the English Muffins: Split your English muffins in half and toast them until the edges are crunchy and the surface is lightly browned to add texture and ensure the sandwich holds up well.
- Cook the Egg: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg with apple cider vinegar (natural), salt, and pepper. In the same skillet used for the smoked turkey bacon, add a little olive oil if needed and pour in the egg mixture. Cook gently until the egg is set but still moist, folding if desired for a neat shape.
- Assemble the Sandwich: On the toasted bottom half of the English muffin, layer fresh spinach leaves, tomato slices, the cooked egg, and smoked turkey bacon strips. Top with a slice of plant-based cheese to gently melt with the warmth. Finish with the top muffin half and press gently.
- Serve and Enjoy: Drizzle a little vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) over the fillings before closing the sandwich. Serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- Choose fresh English muffins for the best texture and flavor.
- Cook smoked turkey bacon in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan for even crisping.
- Avoid overcooking the egg to keep it tender and moist.
- After adding the cheese slice, cover the sandwich briefly to encourage smooth melting.
- Always toast muffins to add crunch and contrast to the soft fillings.
