Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 English muffins
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 2 slices Canadian bacon
  • 2 slices white cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Split and toast the 2 English muffins until the cut sides are golden and firm, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Cook the 2 slices of Canadian bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 1 minute per side until lightly colored, then set aside.
  3. Melt the 1 tbsp butter in the same skillet over medium-low heat, pour in the 4 egg whites, season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, add 1 tbsp water, cover, and steam for 2 to 3 minutes until fully set.
  4. Lay the 2 slices of white cheddar on the egg whites, replace the lid for 30 seconds to melt the cheese, then divide the egg into 2 portions with a spatula.
  5. Place an egg portion on each muffin bottom, top with a slice of Canadian bacon, close the sandwich, and serve immediately.

Notes

The steam method is the key step here; don't rush it by lifting the lid early. If you're using a stainless or cast iron pan rather than non-stick, keep the heat on low and give it an extra minute so the egg releases cleanly. These reheat well, so making a double batch on the weekend and storing them in the fridge is a solid option.
