Ingredients

- 1/4 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (or to taste)
- Handful of spinach or arugula

Tools You’ll Need

Add-Ins and Substitutions
I promised you versatile, and here’s proof!
- No yogurt? Try hummus or smashed white beans with a dash of lemon.
- No English muffins? Use Ezekiel bread, a whole-wheat wrap, or sourdough slices.
- Not into spice? Swap sriracha for a squeeze of lemon or balsamic glaze.
- Add a fried egg if you’re not vegan for even more protein.
How to Make It
Step 1: Toast the Muffin
Pop your English muffin halves in the toaster and toast to your liking.
Step 2: Cook the Veggie Patty
Heat the veggie patty according to package instructions (usually about 5–7 minutes on the stove or in a microwave if you’re in a rush).
Step 3: Make the Sauce
Mix Greek yogurt with sriracha in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the spice level.
Step 4: Assemble
Spread the sauce on the bottom half of your muffin. Add spinach, the veggie patty, cheese (if using), and avocado slices. Finish with a pinch of salt and pepper. Top with the other muffin half.
