As a mom, I know the mornings can get hectic! I love a super simple Phase 2 meal (or snack) that I can eat on the go, just like this fantastic breakfast sandwich.

Phase 2 | Serves 1*
Prep time: 5 minutes | Total time: 15 minutes

INGREDIENTS

3 ounces fresh chopped or baby spinach (about 3 cups packed)
Pinch each of sea salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
   
   
2. Add the spinach, sea salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and sauté just until the spinach wilts, about 30 seconds. 
   
   
3. Sandwich the sautéed spinach and bacon between the pancakes, and serve.
