Hooked on McDonald's for breakfast

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!
