Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole wheat English muffin
- 1 egg
- 1 slice low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon low-fat milk
- 1 spray cooking spray
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Split the whole wheat English muffin into halves and toast them until golden brown.
In a small bowl, crack the egg and add the low-fat milk. Whisk them together until well blended and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and allow it to cook gently until the edges begin to set. Using a spatula, gently scramble or fold the egg to ensure it cooks evenly throughout without overcooking.
Once the egg is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and place it on one half of the toasted muffin.
Top the egg with a slice of low-fat cheddar cheese.
Place the other toasted muffin half on top to form a sandwich.
Serve immediately for a delicious, low-fat breakfast option.
