Ingredients

  • olive oil spray
  • 2 English light whole wheat muffins**
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese or American*
  • 2 large eggs
  • salt and black pepper
  • optional condiments: hot sauce
  • 2 slices turkey bacon

Instructions

  1. 1

    Split the English muffins open, layer a slice of cheese on each half, and toast them in a toaster oven or under the broiler, positioning them about 6 inches from the heat source until the cheese is gooey (be cautious to avoid burning).

  2. 2

    In the meantime, coat a large skillet with cooking spray and prepare the turkey bacon according to package instructions.

  3. 3

    Once cooked, remove the bacon and apply a bit more cooking spray to the skillet.

  4. 4

    Carefully crack the eggs into a nonstick skillet, seasoning them with a dash of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook on low heat, covered, until the yolks reach your preferred doneness; I enjoy them slightly runny, but you can also opt to scramble them if you prefer.

  5. 5

    To assemble the sandwiches: place the crispy bacon on one half of the muffin and the cooked egg on the other half.

  6. 6

    Add any desired condiments on top, if you wish.
