HEALTHY, LOW-FAT BREAKFAST SANDWICH "ON-THE-GO"
I am busy, busy, busy! And I usually don't allow myself much time in the morning for breakfast, so I developed a quick, healthy, and delicious breakfast sandwich that keeps me going until lunch! I recently purchased the Ziploc version of the foodsaver, and IT WORKS GREAT!!! (I had a foodsaver, and it broke, and I wasn't spending another $150!) I make these sandwiches ahead of time (really easy), seal them in the Ziploc foodvac, and freeze them until ready to eat. Give it a try!!

Steps:
- Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat.
- Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Beat the egg in a small bowl and add salt, pepper and/or a dash of milk (for a fluffier egg).
- Cook the egg over med-low heat in an omelette style fashion (meaning, don't scramble the egg, but let it take the shape of the pan).
- Flip and cook on the other side.
- Assemble the sandwich -- English muffin bottom, egg (folded to fit), turkey bacon, cheese, English muffin top.
- The sandwich can then be place in the toaster oven or convection oven to toast the bread and melt the cheese -- However.
- I like to make as many of these as I can, foodvac them, and freeze them. In the morning while I'm getting ready, I pop one in the convection oven at about 375 degrees and in 15 minutes I have a sandwich better than they can make at McDonalds -- To-Go!
- Enjoy!
- Note: Sorry if the instructions were lengthy for such a simplistic recipe!
LOW FAT BREAKFAST SANDWICH
I love my breakfast, for me it truly is the most important meal of the day. However, like most people I have very little time for cooking in the morning. After some trial and error, I started making this sandwich which has many positive qualities. Firstly it is easy and cheap to make. Second it is low fat. Third, due to the combination of protein and fiber, it will actually keep you satisfied until lunchtime unlike many cold cereals or breakfast bars. Enjoy!!

Steps:
- Diagonally slice bread in half. Place bread slices and Canadian bacon in a toaster oven. Select medium toasting level. (or preheat a conventional oven to 300 and cook for 10 minutes).
- Once toasted, flip Canadian bacon. Fold cheese slice to make two triangles, place on bread slices. Toast again at medium level.
- Meanwhile spray small frying pan with olive cooking spray. Cook egg according to preference (about 2 minutes per side for hard eggs, less for over easy eggs). Sprinkle each side with red pepper.
- To build sandwich, place once slice of bread cheese side up, followed by egg, then Canadian bacon. Finish by topping with remaining bread slice, cheese side down.
Tips:
- Meal Prep: Save time by preparing your breakfast sandwiches in advance. Assemble the sandwiches and store them in the refrigerator or freezer for quick and easy weekday breakfasts.
- Choose Whole Grains: Opt for whole grain bread or English muffins to increase fiber and nutrient content.
- Low-Fat Protein: Select lean protein options like egg whites, turkey bacon, or Canadian bacon to keep the fat content low.
- Veggies and Fruits: Incorporate vegetables and fruits into your sandwiches for added flavor, nutrition, and color. Try spinach, tomatoes, avocado, or berries.
- Limit Cheese: Use cheese sparingly or choose low-fat varieties to reduce saturated fat intake.
- Seasonings and Herbs: Experiment with different seasonings, herbs, and sauces to add flavor to your sandwiches without adding extra calories.
