Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole wheat English muffin
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 piece Low-fat Swiss cheese slice
- 1 slice Thinly sliced Canadian bacon
- 1 spray Cooking spray
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Split the whole wheat English muffin in half and lightly toast both halves to your desired crunchiness.
Step 2
Spray a small nonstick skillet or an egg ring with cooking spray and place it over medium heat.
Step 3
Crack the egg into the skillet or egg ring, being careful not to break the yolk. Sprinkle the egg with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Cook the egg until the whites are fully set and the yolk reaches your preferred level of doneness. For a firmer yolk, flip the egg and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 5
In the same skillet, place the slice of Canadian bacon and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until warmed through.
Step 6
Assemble the sandwich: Place the cooked Canadian bacon on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin, followed by the egg, and top it with the slice of low-fat Swiss cheese.
Step 7
Close the sandwich with the top half of the English muffin and allow it to rest for a minute so the cheese slightly melts.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Egg McMuffin Light!
