Dear Nutrigirl-
I can't seem to kick my egg McMuffin habit. Any thoughts on a healthier alternative?
Thanks,
Egg on her face
Dear Egg-
Here's a simple and tasty way to enjoy your favorite breakfast, while reducing the carbon footprint! The time and money you spend to hit the drive-through could be used making this simple sandwich. Here's what you'll need:
1 whole wheat English muffin
1 egg & 1 Tbsp. water
Non-stick cooking spray (i.e. Pam)
1 Tbsp. low fat shredded cheddar or other cheese
1 Tbsp. Chopped onions, peppers or other spinach (optional)
Directions
Toast the muffin and set aside.
Spray a small bowl with non-stick spray.
Crack the egg and place it in the bowl with 1 Tbsp. water. Scramble the egg.
Add your vegetables of choice and mix in with the egg.
Microwave the egg mixture for ~1 minute, then take out of the microwave and add the cheese.
Fold the egg & cheese in a square and place on the muffin.
Voila- healthy breakfast sandwich!
