  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil.

Notes

  • Scramble the eggs instead of frying, if you like.
  • Try toasting the muffins in a toaster or in the oven set to broil before adding eggs and toppings.
  • Top cooked eggs with sliced low-fat cheese or turkey bacon. Cook 1 slice turkey bacon in skillet for 1 minute on each side. Break into pieces and add to muffin.
