Traditional spanakopita gets a morning twist in these tasty breakfast sandwiches. Wilted spinach and arugula add color, while a fried egg adds a boost of protein. If you prefer a runnier egg yolk, you can keep it intact (just be careful when you flip it!).

Spanakopita Breakfast Sandwiches

Active Time: 25 minutes Total Time: 25 minutes
Serves 4
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 (5-ounce) package baby spinach
  • 3 cups arugula
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 4 whole-wheat English muffins, split and toasted
  • 4 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Break eggs, one at a time, into the pan. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 1 to 2 minutes. Break the yolks with a spatula. Flip the eggs and cook until just done, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
