Looking for my Five for Ten post? This isn’t it. You can check it out here. We’re talking about lust *blush*.
One of my favorite things to make for, OK, pretty much the only thing that I make for lunch, is an egg sandwich. It’s so easy, super healthy with lots of protein and energy. And you can mix it up so everyday is a little different. Here’s my recipe for the perfect egg sandwich.
[singlepic id=373 w=450]
Simple Egg Sandwich
2 slices of your favorite whole grain bread (I use my flax bread)
1 egg
Favorite seasonings (I use this Ranch mix from AllRecipes.com)
A handful of spinach leaves
Hummus, butter, mayo or your favorite sandwich topping
Cooking spray or butter
Sea salt
Heat a small pan, spayed with cooking spray, over medium heat.
In a bowl beat egg and seasoning until light and fluffy. Tear spinach into bite sized pieces and mix into egg.
Spray bread with cooking spray or spread with butter. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Toast in pan until browned and crispy. Think grilled cheese sandwich. Brush untoasted side with hummus, butter, mayo or your favorite topping.
Pour egg/spinach mixture into pan. Cook, then flip until egg is no longer running and spinach starts to wilt. Cover pan if necessary to help the spinach to wilt.
Transfer egg to one slice of bread. Top with the second slice. Pair it with some grapes, an apple or banana for a super powered lunch.

We love egg sandwiches here, too. Love how you added spinach and other things to it.

Oh, I adore egg sandwiches! Definitely one of my faves… and you’re right- it’s so fun to mix up the flavors! I haven’t made pretzel-crusted chicken in a long time, but I have a recipe for it that I love. Thanks for the reminder!
I couldn’t even get to the meal plan because I was distracted by the egg sandwich!
My husband and mother would love to lunch at your house! (I would, too, but they are true egg sandwich enthusiasts.)

Yum looks good. I like taking hard boiled eggs (chopping them up, adding a bit of mustard and mayo) toasting 1/2 a sandwich thin and then putting a layer of spinach on top of that and add the egg salad mixture for a yummy open faced sammy!!
This sounds like a yummy, healthy lunch. I will have to try this soon!
wow! tried without spinach but its healthier now and whole food supplement for kids.
