If you don't already know, I am on a mission to incorporate sprouts into as many recipes as I can. They're so good for you and easy enough to grow on your kitchen counter year round. Just try this breakfast sandwich with sprouts. You'll be adding it to your list of healthy breakfast recipes for sure. I have included a couple affiliate links to the products we used for your convenience and to help support this blog. 🙂

Directions:

- Beat egg in small dish. Add scallions and cayenne pepper to taste.

- Spray pan with small about of nonstick spray or olive oil. (We LOVE the Misto.)

- Add cheese to top of egg mixture and cover until cheese is melted.
- Construct your healthy breakfast sandwich in the following order: English muffin bottom, egg with melted cheese, turkey, tomato, avocado (optional), sprouts, top of English muffin.

I haven’t had sprouts in a long time. My mom used to buy them all the time when I was a kid.

That’s a fun video on how to put it together. I’d have to have the avocado on mine.

That is cool. I don’t honestly think about them but I guess I should. They look good on this. I bet it is pretty easy to incorporate them into recipes too.

I have a friend that loves bean sprouts, I’m sure she’ll enjoy this. I don’t think I’ve seen them on a breakfast sandwich before.
