Kosher salt and pepper
1 Tbsp.
olive oil
2 oz.
extra-sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
4
English muffins, toasted
2 cups
baby spinach
4

Directions

1. Step 1In a bowl, beat eggs with 1 Tbsp water and ¼ tsp each salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large non stick skillet on medium heat.

TIP: Wrap prepared sandwiches in a damp paper towel, then foil. Place in freezer bags and freeze for up to one month. When ready to cook, remove the foil (leave the towel) and microwave for 1 minute. Flip and microwave another 1 minute to 30 seconds. (The damp towel, adds a touch of steam.)
