Just try this breakfast sandwich with sprouts. You’ll be adding it to your list of healthy breakfast recipes for sure. 🙂
Healthy Breakfast Recipes – Turkey, Egg, and Cheese Muffin with Sprouts
Ingredients for one breakfast sandwich:

- 1 thin slice of cheddar cheese
- 1 slice tomato
- 1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts (grow your own!)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp chopped scallions
- pinch cayenne pepper
- thin slice of avocado (optional- adds about 24 calories, 2g healthy fat, and 1 carb)
Directions:
- Slice tomato, avocado. Set aside.
- Chop scallions.
- Beat egg in small dish. Add scallions and cayenne pepper to taste.
- Slice English Muffin.
- Heat small pan with cover on over medium heat (about 10 seconds.)
- Spray pan with small about of nonstick spray or olive oil. (We LOVE the Misto.)
- Pour egg mixture into pan.
- Put English muffin into toaster. After the bottom of the egg mixture has cooked and is able to be flipped, flip egg mixture and continue cooking for about 10-15 seconds.
- 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.

September 9, 2015 at 6:50 pmThat’s a fun video on how to put it together. I’d have to have the avocado on mine.

September 9, 2015 at 8:12 pmThat 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.
