Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole wheat English muffin
- 1 slice Turkey bacon
- 2 large eggs worth Egg whites
- 1 slice Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 spritz Olive oil cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 350°F (175°C).
Split the English muffin in half and place both halves directly on the middle rack of the oven. Toast for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the muffin is toasting, spray a non-stick skillet with olive oil cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
Add the slice of turkey bacon to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the egg whites. Season them with salt and pepper, then cook, stirring gently, until they are fully set, for about 2-3 minutes.
To assemble the sandwich, place the egg whites on one half of the toasted English muffin.
Top the egg whites with the crispy turkey bacon slice and then add the low-fat cheddar cheese slice.
Place the sandwich open-faced back into the oven for about 1 minute, or until the cheese begins to melt.
Remove from the oven and top with the remaining half of the English muffin.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-fat bacon egg and cheese English muffin!
