Egg MugMuffin with Spinach, Ham and Bacon

Published: May 16, 2013 · Modified: Oct 16, 2020 by greenlitebitescom · This post may contain affiliate links · 13 Comments

Every time I hear people say it takes too much time or money to eat healthier/lighter I cringe. Sure it CAN be but there are plenty of ways to make small changes to your diet that can be done on a budget and made just as fast as waiting in a drive-thru line. Because let's be honest, fast food may be convenient but it isn't always fast and it's rarely good for you. 

I won't spend any more time on my soapbox, I promise as I eat at fast food more than I'd like to admit. I'm just popping in really quick to share my breakfast, which took me at most, 2 minutes to make.

I'm not joking.

And it was not only DELICIOUS, but it was under 250 calories!

Egg MugMuffin with Spinach, Ham and BaconI used ham, bacon bits and spinach to make my egg because I'm a bit of a meat fanatic and I've trained myself to always add at least one vegetable. However, you could use anything you like or nothing at all.

Here's what I did…

  • 1 Whole Wheat English muffin
  • 1 thin slice of deli ham
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp (7g) of real bacon bits
  • ½ cup (20g) fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • Salt, pepper and Non-stick cooking spray

Toast the English muffin.

Find a small dish or mug that roughly has the same diameter of your English muffin. Spray it with a bit of non-stick cooking spray and place the slice of ham on the bottom. You may have to fold it.

Prepare/weigh out your other ingredients.

Crack the egg into the dish with the ham, break the yolk and mix it a bit.

Add in the spinach and bacon bits. You may think it's too much but just keep tossing with the egg until the spinach is all moist.

Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and then microwave for 30 seconds. It will come out looking something like this ...

Give it a quick stir and cook for an additional 30-40 seconds until it's no longer runny in the middle.

Run your fork along the edge and pop out your cooked egg!

Place it on your toasted English muffin with a little ketchup, of course, and enjoy!

This is an easy one to take in the car on your way to work although I ate it while getting the 2-year-old dressed and the 7-year-old on the bus. 🙂

    This has been my go to breakfast the last couple days, minus the ham. This morning I begin making it and realize I used all the spinach yesterday and forget to get some while I was out...UGH. So I spot a bag of pre-shredded broccoli coleslaw in the fridge and I get my wyc-wyc on. I chop about a 1/2 cup up smaller and throw it in the microwave for 2 minutes to soften it before adding the other ingredients. The result...YUMMY. Thanks for always inspiring me to eat as healthy as possible and for thinking out of the box with my choices.

    Hi Myrna!

    It stands for Weight Watchers Points (WWP) and Weight Watchers Points Plus (WWPP) for those that follow that diet. Glad you like the site!

    I tried this recipe this morning and thought it was fabulous. I skipped the ham and added a tomato slice. I'm a mayo gal so I added that and probably wrecked the heathliness of it but oh well, I'm closer than I was before. I'm already thinking of all the different ingredients that would work well (sauteed onions, cooked bulk sausage, peppers). Thanks again for the great recipes on here.

    This looks delish! I am working on new ways to do eggs since I will be eating them daily for breakfast now having gestational diabetes. This will be so easy to grab and go! Thanks Roni!

    I use a ramekin to cook my eggs. Perfect size for an English muffin!

    The microwave is a great way to cook up some scrambled eggs in the morning. Perfect for an english muffin! I have had an egg sandwich for breakfast, almost every day, for the past two years!

    I had one of the McDonald's Egg White Delights for my breakfast. This looks so much tastier than the McD's one! Will give this a try soon.
