Ingredients

  • Olive oil spray
  • 2 English light whole wheat muffins** (toasted)
  • 2 lices turkey bacon (cut in half (I love Applegate))
  • 2 lices cheddar cheese or American*
  • 2 large eggs
  • salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • optional condiments: hot sauce (ketchup, etc)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Open the English muffins, top with a slice of cheese and toast in the toaster oven or broiler about 6 inches from the flame until the cheese melts (careful not to burn).
  2. Meanwhile, spray a large skillet with oil and cook the turkey bacon as directed.
  3. Set aside and spray the skillet with more oil.
  4. Crack the eggs in a nonstick skillet, season with a pinch of salt and black pepper and cook on low, covered until the yolks are cooked to your liking, I like to keep them on the runny side but you can also make them scrambled.
  5. To make the sandwiches: place the bacon on one side and the egg on the other.
  6. Top with optional condiments, if desired.

Notes

  • **check labels for gluten free
  • Variations: Use ham, turkey sausage, Taylor ham or center cut bacon in place of turkey bacon. You can add avocado if you wish.
  • Make it dairy-free: Skip the cheese or use dairy-free cheese.
  • Make it vegetarian: omit the turkey bacon.
  • Make them ahead: Double or Triple the recipe as needed. Scramble the eggs and assemble sandwiches. Wrap each individually tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.  To reheat from fridge, place sandwich on a microwave safe plate and cook 45-60 seconds, or until heated through or reheat in the toaster oven.
