Egg Mock-Muffin Sandwich
This recipe is best for preteens and up (aged 10 and older), but younger kids could whisk the egg mixture and help toast the muffins in a toaster.
Ingredients:
Makes 2 servings- 2 English muffins , toasted
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup egg substitute
- 2 slices Canadian bacon
- 2 empty tuna cans (or similar cans), washed and label removed
- 2 slices less-fat American or cheddar cheese
- Freshly ground pepper
- Canola cooking spray
If your child is old enough, let them coat half of a 9" or 10" nonstick frying pan with canola cooking spray and heat over medium heat. In a small bowl, beat the egg and egg substitute together with a fork or whisk and set aside.
Place Canadian bacon in the pan, over the sprayed area. Spray the inside of the tuna cans with canola cooking spray, and set on the nonsprayed side of the frying pan to start heating. When bottom side of the bacon is light brown, flip over and cook other side until light brown. Remove bacon from pan and set aside.
Pour 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into each tuna can. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper to taste. When the surface of the egg begins to firm, cut around the inside of the cans with a butter knife to free the edges. Turn the eggs over with a cake fork (kids should be supervised for this step), and cook for one minute more. Remove eggs from can.
To assemble each sandwich, layer an English muffin bottom with a slice of cheese, then an egg patty, a piece of Canadian bacon, and the muffin top.
