Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Whole-grain English muffin
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 Egg whites
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Butter or olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Split the whole-grain English muffin in half and toast both halves until golden brown.
Crack the large eggs into a mixing bowl and add the egg whites. Season with salt and black pepper, then whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
In a nonstick skillet, heat butter or olive oil over medium heat.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula as the eggs begin to set, pushing them from the edges to the center and forming soft curds.
When the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, place the slice of Cheddar cheese on top. Allow it to melt slightly, about 30 seconds.
Remove the eggs from the heat and carefully fold them in half to sandwich the melted cheese.
Place the cheesy scrambled eggs between the toasted English muffin halves.
Serve immediately for a warm, protein-packed breakfast.
