Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Components
- 1 English muffin (whole wheat or regular)
- 1 egg white (store-bought or separated from a fresh egg)
- Herbs, salt, and pepper to taste (e.g., Herbs of Provence)
- 1 slice Canadian bacon (or ham)
- 1 slice white cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Toast the English Muffin: Slice the English muffin in half and toast both halves in a toaster until golden and crisp, providing a sturdy base for the sandwich.
- Prepare the Egg White: Pour the egg white into a microwave-safe bowl roughly the size of your muffin halves. If desired, sprinkle herbs, salt, and pepper into the egg white before cooking. Microwave for about 1 minute 20 seconds until set, or alternatively cook on the stovetop to your preferred consistency.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place the cooked egg white on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin. Layer with the slice of Canadian bacon and then the slice of white cheddar cheese. Top with the other muffin half.
- Optional Broiling for Extra Flavor: For an enhanced, melty sandwich, wrap it in foil and broil for 3 minutes before serving. Use caution when handling hot foil and sandwich.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful and healthy Egg White Delight sandwich.
Notes
- Using whole wheat English muffins can increase fiber content for better nutrition.
- Canadian bacon can be swapped with ham or turkey slices according to preference.
- Add your favorite herbs to the egg white to customize flavor; Herbs of Provence complements well.
- Broiling the assembled sandwich melts the cheese nicely and warms the Canadian bacon further.
- Cooking the egg white on the stovetop offers more control over texture than microwaving.
