Sunny Muffin
- 4 English muffins, split
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves (or 8 large leaves with stems removed)
- 8 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise
- 1 package (.9 oz) bearnaise or hollandaise sauce mix
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Cooking time: About 12 minutes
- Lightly toast English muffins; divide spinach among muffin halves.
- Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, turning several times, until lightly browned. Remove to a paper towel to drain and cool slightly.
- In a small saucepan, whisk sauce mix and milk (omit butter called for in package directions). Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened (about 3 minutes). Reduce heat to low to keep warm, stirring occasionally.
- Whisk eggs, water, and pepper in a medium bowl. Carefully wipe excess grease from bacon skillet with paper towel; scramble eggs over medium heat until cooked through.
- Spoon a heaping 1/3 cup eggs over muffin halves; top each with 2 pieces of bacon and a tablespoon of sauce.
- How kids can help: Whisk sauce and eggs; top muffins with spinach, eggs, and bacon; spoon on sauce.
- TIP: If you're watching cholesterol, omit the bacon and use 2 egg whites or 4 tablespoons egg substitute.
