Open-Faced Fruit and Egg Brunch-wich Recipe

Ingredients
2 eggs
2 slices of Arnold Health-full Nutty Grain Bread, toasted
2 tbsp fig butter or other spreadable fruit in black cherry or apricot
1/4 c fresh spinach, chopped
4 small slices of at-room-temperature brie
freshly ground black pepper
salt

Directions
1. Heat a medium skillet coated with non-stick cooking spray over medium heat. Break open the eggs in the pan and reduce heat to low. Cook slowly until the whites are completely set and the yolks start to thicken, but are not hard.

2. While eggs are cooking, spread 1 tablespoon of fig butter (or other spreadable fruit) on each piece of toast. Next, layer 1/8 c of spinach on each piece of bread, followed by the brie slices.

3. When the eggs are cooked and hot, place them on top of the brie slices (thereby helping to melt the cheese—yum!).

4. Sprinkle ground pepper and a little salt over the Open-Faced Fruit and Egg Brunch-wich and enjoy!
