Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole wheat English muffins
- 4 large Egg whites
- 2 slices Low-fat Canadian bacon slices
- 2 slices Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Toast the whole wheat English muffins in a toaster until they are golden brown and set aside.
In the preheated skillet, cook the Canadian bacon slices for about 2 minutes on each side until they are warm and slightly browned. Remove and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg whites, salt, and black pepper until they are well combined.
Pour the egg whites into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fully set and no liquid remains. Fold the cooked egg whites into a neat shape that fits the muffin.
To assemble the McMuffin, place one slice of cheese on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin. Add the cooked egg whites on top, then place the warmed Canadian bacon over the eggs.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the English muffin.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture, as the cheese will begin to melt from the warmth of the eggs and bacon.
