Ingredients
- 1 Whole-grain English muffin
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 Egg whites
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Butter or olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Split the whole-grain English muffin in half and toast both halves until golden brown.
Step 2
Crack the large eggs into a mixing bowl and add the egg whites. Season with salt and black pepper, then whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
In a nonstick skillet, heat butter or olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula as the eggs begin to set, pushing them from the edges to the center and forming soft curds.
Step 5
When the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, place the slice of Cheddar cheese on top. Allow it to melt slightly, about 30 seconds.
Step 6
Remove the eggs from the heat and carefully fold them in half to sandwich the melted cheese.
Step 7
Place the cheesy scrambled eggs between the toasted English muffin halves.
Step 8
Serve immediately for a warm, protein-packed breakfast.
