Ingredients
- 4 slices of whole wheat sandwich bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/4 cup spinach, chopped
- 1 teaspoon chopped green chilli
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Drizzle about a spoonful of canola oil (or your preferred cooking oil) into a non-stick skillet. Place the skillet over medium heat and allow the oil to warm up for a concise 1 to 2 minutes.
2. Gently crack your eggs directly into the warmed skillet. Immediately begin to gently scramble them, moving them softly across the pan. Now is the time to season generously with salt and pepper to your liking. Reduce the heat slightly to a low flame and continue cooking for approximately 5 minutes. Ensure you stir often enough to prevent the mixture from sticking to the skillet’s surface.
3. Once the eggs are almost set, toss in the freshly chopped spinach and chilies. Continue cooking the mixture just until the spinach wilts down and becomes tender—this should only take about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the egg mixture from the heat.
4. While the egg mixture cools slightly, place your slices of whole wheat bread into a toaster. Toast them until they reach a perfect golden brown crispness, usually requiring 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Take the toasted bread slices. Spoon the savoury egg and spinach mixture generously onto one slice. Top it with the second slice of bread, completing the sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy!
