Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole wheat English muffin
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 piece Low-fat Swiss cheese slice
- 1 slice Thinly sliced Canadian bacon
- 1 spray Cooking spray
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Split the whole wheat English muffin in half and lightly toast both halves to your desired crunchiness.
Spray a small nonstick skillet or an egg ring with cooking spray and place it over medium heat.
Crack the egg into the skillet or egg ring, being careful not to break the yolk. Sprinkle the egg with salt and black pepper.
Cook the egg until the whites are fully set and the yolk reaches your preferred level of doneness. For a firmer yolk, flip the egg and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
In the same skillet, place the slice of Canadian bacon and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until warmed through.
Assemble the sandwich: Place the cooked Canadian bacon on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin, followed by the egg, and top it with the slice of low-fat Swiss cheese.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the English muffin and allow it to rest for a minute so the cheese slightly melts.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Egg McMuffin Light!
