Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large egg whites
- 2 slices turkey bacon
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 2 tablespoons low-fat shredded cheese
- 0.5 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1 spray non-stick cooking spray
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the turkey bacon slices to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside on a paper towel to drain any excess fat.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites with salt and black pepper until frothy.
Re-spray the skillet with a little non-stick cooking spray if needed, and pour in the egg whites. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the egg whites are set.
While the eggs are cooking, toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.
Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheese over them and allow it to melt slightly.
Assemble the sandwich by layering the cooked eggs with cheese, the crispy turkey bacon, and the spinach leaves between the toasted bread slices.
Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious, low-fat bacon and egg sandwich.
