Recipe: The ULTIMATE Breakfast Sammy!

Do you have that one food you could eat day in and day out and not get sick of it? This tasty breakfast sammy is mine- thanks to one day of watching the Dr. OZ show! I am all about something that's quick and easy. For most of us, that at some involves the trip through the drive through, running into a store where it's in your hands in a matter of 5-10 minutes. I promise you, this sammy is quicker than all of those options (even the ones you think are healthy), and WAY healthier. If you're a food prepper (like I try to be on Sundays..) it's even quicker because everything else is pre-sliced.

Ingredients:

1 Whole Wheat English Muffin (I use Oroweat's Double Fiber option... keeps my net carbs lower)
1/2c Liquid Egg Whites
1 slice Swiss Cheese (I use Kraft Thin Sliced)
1-2 Slices of Tomato
2-4 Thin Slices of Avocado

Directions:

-Toast English Muffin
-Cook eggs to your liking (I place mine in the pan and let them cook to the shape of the pan and then divide into 4 triangles then stack them)
-Once English Muffin is toasted, stack eggs, cheese, tomato and avocado on bottom half of the muffin. Once assembled, place top half of muffin on top.

ENJOY.



Seriously. This typically takes me 10 minutes. I know for a fact, it would take me LONGER to get in my car, drive to McDonalds, wait in line (either inside or drive through), get my sandwich, and drive home.
