  • 2 English Muffins Whole wheat
  • 1 teaspoon Canola Oil

  • Split each muffin in half. Set muffin tops aside.
  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil.
  • Gently break eggs into skillet. Be careful not to break the yolk. Cook about 1 minute. Carefully flip each egg over with a rubber spatula. Cook until yolk is slightly firm, about 1-2 minutes. Top each muffin bottom with cooked egg.

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.
