Ingredients

  • 4 english muffins
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 oz shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 oz baby spinach
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Method

  1. Split and toast the muffins until the cut faces are golden.

  2. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.

  3. Crack the eggs in and break the yolks with the spatula so they cook flat and even. Season with the salt and pepper.

  4. When the whites are set, about 2 minutes, fold each egg into a rough square the size of a muffin and scatter the cheddar over.

  5. Cover the pan off the heat for a minute so the cheese melts, then lift each egg onto a muffin base with a handful of spinach and close the sandwich.
