Over Labor Day, my mom offered to make me a breakfast sandwich that my brother Brian had introduced to her and the rest of my family. I didn’t know how it would be much different from any other breakfast sandwich, but I said yes nonetheless.

Starting with an english muffin half, layers of freshly grated sharp white cheddar and salami started to pile up in front of me, topped with a sunny side up egg and one single spinach leaf. To make it healthy.

Let me tell you, this combo was a GAME CHANGER. The salty salami and intense flavor from the sharp cheddar were perfect compliments to the gooey egg yolk and crispy english muffin. I never ever ever buy salami. Like ever. (Claps for understanding my Taylor Swift reference.) But on the fateful drive home from the airport to my apartment last Tuesday, I went to the store and bought salami and sharp cheddar and was ready for round two! And three. And four.

Now it’s not necessarily a sandwich, per say, since I left mine open faced. If you want it to be a true hand held sandwich of sorts I would just cut one of the eggs and slap the two halves together.

I know it sounds like a normal breakfast sandwich, but try this combo out and you will understand why I am raving on about it so much!

Note: One single spinach leaf does not, in fact, make this into a salad. I have tried the sandwich with a little more spinach and find it equally as delicious – so you could sneak a serving of veggies in there if you wish.
