Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Separate 2 egg whites into a small bowl, discarding the yolks.
Pour the egg whites into the skillet, add a pinch of salt and black pepper, and cook until set, about 3-4 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, split the whole wheat English muffin in half and toast until lightly golden brown.
In the same skillet, once the eggs are cooked, place the Canadian bacon slice and heat it for about 1-2 minutes on each side until warm and slightly crisped.
Assemble the sandwich by placing the cooked egg whites on one half of the toasted English muffin. Top with the warmed Canadian bacon slice and the low-fat cheddar cheese slice.
Complete the sandwich by placing the other half of the English muffin on top and gently press down.
If desired, wrap the assembled sandwich in a paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds to melt the cheese further.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat breakfast treat!
