Fresh Spinach & Tomato Egg White Sandwich

Just got done making this one. After I work out, I try to refuel with a good balance of protein and carbohydrates to help with muscle recovery and to keep energy levels high.  This was something that I thought would do the trick, with the protein in the egg whites and the carbs from the bread, it was just what I was looking for!

This is a simple, fresh twist on your typical breakfast sandwich, it is really easy to make and takes hardly any time at all!

Ingredients:

-1 large slice of sourdough bread (cut in half & toasted)
-2 egg whites (kept separate)
-2 small handfulls of fresh spinach
-2 small tomato slices
-1-2 tblsp olive oil (divided)
-salt & pepper *to taste

*however much you like

Directions:

 Over medium-high heat in a small frying pan, fry each egg white in about 1/2-1 tblsp olive oil and keep separated so you can place one on each half of the sourdough toast. Fry for about 2-3 minutes then flip and fry for another minute or two until egg whites are cooked through. (Season egg whites with salt and pepper while they are cooking on the first side if you choose)

 Once the egg whites are cooked, assemble your sandwich! Open-faced is how I like to eat mine, less bread that way, but you can make 2 whole sandwiches with this if you like.

 Start by placing one egg white on each 1/2 slice of toast, then a small handful of spinach on each, followed by a tomato slice. To top everything off, drizzle the remaining olive oil over each 1/2 sandwich, and sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste. Bon Appetite`!
