• 1 unit Large egg
• 1 slice Reduced sodium Canadian bacon
• 1 slice Swiss cheese, low sodium
• 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter or olive oil spread
• to taste Ground black pepper
• as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Split the whole wheat English muffin in half and toast it to your preferred level of crispiness.

Step 2

While the muffin is toasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Step 3

Crack the large egg into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolk. You can use a round egg ring if you want a perfectly round shape.

Step 4

Cook the egg for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are fully set and the yolk is slightly runny or cooked to your preference.

Step 5

Sprinkle a pinch of ground black pepper over the egg for seasoning.

Step 6

In a separate small pan, over medium heat, warm the slice of reduced sodium Canadian bacon for about 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

Step 7

Once the English muffin is toasted, spread a thin layer of unsalted butter or olive oil spread on each half.

Step 8

Place the warm Canadian bacon slice on the bottom half of the English muffin.

Step 9

Layer the cooked egg on top of the Canadian bacon.

Step 10

Place the slice of low sodium Swiss cheese on top of the egg.

Step 11

Cover with the top half of the English muffin to complete the sandwich.

Step 12

Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
