I was talking to my nutritionist the other day, and since I was having problems with getting hungry too quickly after breakfast she suggested I have more protein in the morning. She said Egg McMuffins are a great breakfast. I don't like eating at McDonald's even occasionally, so I'm definitely not going to spend the money to go there every morning. I decided to make my own version at home, and this is what I used:
1. Thomas' Hearty Multi Grain English Muffins
2. My new favorite find...Hormel Natural Choice deli meats in the cold cut section of the grocery store. They taste like actual ham and turkey and have NO ADDED NITRATES OR NITRITES!
3. 1 Egg
4. 1 slice Sargento Ultra Thin Provolone cheese. Only 40 calories per slice!!! They are creamy when melted onto the egg muffin, and packed full of flavor for such a thin slice of cheese.
5. 2 tsp of butter.
I'm sure you can figure out how to cook it, but I like adding pics to my posts. :) Spray the pan with a little bit of pan spray. Put the burner on medium heat. Crack the egg into the pan and break the yolk with a fork (but don't scramble it).
Add a little pepper and salt if you like a pinch of salt. While that is cooking, split the English muffin with a fork and toast them. Spread 1 tsp of butter on each side after toasted.
Add 2 slices of Hormel Natural Choice honey ham into the pan. Flip the egg. Flip the ham.
Put 1 slice of Ultra Thin Provolone (or flavor of your choice) onto 1 side of the English muffin. To make the egg fit nicely onto the muffin I cut it into halves or thirds and stack it a little, just covering the area of the muffin. Add ham. Eat and enjoy.
This is my and my kids' new favorite breakfast. It's got a good amount of protein, fiber, not bad on carbs and good on calories for a small meal. Here are the stats:
291.2 calories, 14.4g fat, 4.75g sat fat, 2.3g polyunsaturated fat, .99g monounsaturated fat, 208mg cholesterol, 780mg sodium, 70mg potassium, 27.8g carbs, 8g fiber, 18.7g protein.
It keeps my feeling full and satisfied all the way up until lunch time. I have to admit, they are so tasty that it's tempting to have another one, but I don't allow myself to do that. That would kind of defeat the purpose of being healthy, wouldn't it? :)
Enjoy your breakfast and have a happy day!
