Description

Start your day with a heart-smart breakfast featuring egg whites, spinach, and cranberries on gluten-free toast. A delicious and healthy way to fuel your morning.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 slices gluten-free (optional) bread, such as Rudi's Gluten-Free Multigrain
  • 2 jumbo eggs, whites separated
  • Pinch of paprika
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 cup (240 ml) frozen spinach (or about 6 cups fresh spinach)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) dried cranberries
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Press a small heart-shaped cookie cutter into a frozen slice of gluten-free bread. Carefully pop out the inside piece and pull the cutter away from the slice.
  2. Lightly toast the heart-shaped bread pieces in a toaster oven until they are golden brown and crispy.
  3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook for 3-4 minutes until wilted if using fresh, or until heated through if using frozen. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add the egg whites to the skillet with the spinach. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the egg whites are set and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the dried cranberries and a pinch of paprika, mixing well to combine.
  6. Serve the spinach and egg white mixture on top of the toasted heart-shaped bread pieces. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread.
  • You can substitute fresh spinach for frozen; just cook until wilted.
  • This dish is best served immediately.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of feta cheese or a dash of hot sauce.
