Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole wheat bread
- 3 large Egg whites
- 1 slice Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Skim milk
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 slices Tomato slices (optional)
- 0.5 cup Spinach leaves (optional)
Instructions
Start by preheating a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg whites and skim milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the egg white mixture into the heated pan, swirling gently to coat the bottom evenly. Let it cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes or until the edges begin to set.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pushing them from the edges towards the center. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the eggs are fully set and no longer runny.
Place the slice of low-fat cheddar cheese on top of the cooked scrambled eggs in the pan. Turn off the heat and cover the pan with a lid. Allow the residual heat to melt the cheese, about 1-2 minutes.
Meanwhile, lightly toast the whole wheat bread in a toaster or on a pan until golden brown.
Once the cheese is melted, transfer the cheesy scrambled eggs onto one slice of the toasted bread.
If using, add tomato slices and spinach leaves on top of the eggs for extra flavor and nutrients.
Top with the second slice of toasted bread. Press down gently to hold everything together.
Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately. Enjoy your Low Fat Classic Egg and Cheese Sandwich!
