Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole wheat English muffin
- 2 slices Low-fat turkey bacon
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 slice Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch 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 until crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Spray the skillet again lightly with non-stick cooking spray, then pour in the egg whites. Cook while gently stirring until set, about 3 minutes. Fold the cooked egg whites in half to fit the muffin.
While the eggs are cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat English muffin.
Assemble the sandwich by placing the folded egg whites on the bottom half of the English muffin, followed by the slice of low-fat cheddar cheese and turkey bacon.
Top with the other half of the English muffin and serve immediately.
