Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole wheat English muffin
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 piece Low fat turkey sausage patty
- 1 slice Reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 handful Spinach leaves
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 sprays Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Split the whole wheat English muffin into halves and toast them in a toaster or under a broiler until lightly browned. Set aside.
Spray a small bowl or microwave-safe dish with cooking spray. Pour the egg whites into the bowl, season with salt and black pepper, and microwave on high for about 1-2 minutes until set. Alternatively, cook the egg whites in the skillet until fully set.
In the same skillet, place the low-fat turkey sausage patty and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until fully heated and browned.
Assemble the McMuffin by layering the spinach leaves on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin.
Place the cooked sausage patty on top of the spinach, followed by the cooked egg whites.
Place a slice of reduced-fat cheddar cheese on top of the egg whites and allow it to melt slightly.
Top with the other half of the English muffin and press gently to hold the sandwich together.
Serve the Low Fat Mighty McMuffin warm and enjoy a nutritious breakfast.
