Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Whole wheat English muffin
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 slice Canadian bacon
- 1 slice Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 Cooking spray
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Split the whole wheat English muffin and place both halves in a toaster. Toast until golden brown.
Lightly coat a small non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place it over medium heat.
Pour the egg whites into the skillet, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Cook until the whites are firm, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
While the egg whites are cooking, warm the slice of Canadian bacon in a separate small skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side until heated through.
Once the muffin is toasted, place the slice of Canadian bacon on the bottom half of the muffin.
Top with the cooked egg whites and place the slice of low-fat cheddar cheese over the egg whites so it begins to melt slightly.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the English muffin and serve immediately.
