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

Directions

Step 1

Split the whole wheat English muffin and place both halves in a toaster. Toast until golden brown.

Step 2

Lightly coat a small non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place it over medium heat.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Once the muffin is toasted, place the slice of Canadian bacon on the bottom half of the muffin.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Close the sandwich with the top half of the English muffin and serve immediately.
