Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole grain English muffin
- 2 slices Turkey bacon
- 2 large Egg white
- 1 slice Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.25 whole Avocado
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 1 pinch Pinch of black pepper
- 1 light spray Olive oil spray
Instructions
Slice the whole grain English muffin in half and toast it until lightly crispy.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly spray olive oil. Add the turkey bacon and cook until crispy, about 4 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove and allow to drain on paper towels.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, then spray with a little more olive oil. Pour in the egg whites and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring gently until just set, about 2-3 minutes.
During the last minute of cooking the egg whites, place the slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top to melt slightly.
Mash the avocado with a fork and spread on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin.
Layer the cooked turkey bacon, then the cheesy egg whites on the muffin half smeared with avocado.
Place the other half of the English muffin on top to form a sandwich.
Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy breakfast muffin!
