Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 English muffins, split
  • 4 slices of turkey bacon
  • 4 egg whites or 3/4 cup liquid egg whites
  • 2 to 4 slices of cheddar cheese or 1/2 cup grated cheese
  • Butter or olive oil, for frying the egg whites and spreading on the English muffins

Optional ingredients: chives, other fresh herbs, green onion, red onion, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. First, cook the turkey bacon. This recipe, “how to bake turkey bacon” also includes instructions for pan-frying, microwaving or using an air fryer to cook the bacon.
  2. When the bacon is cooked, heat a teaspoon of butter or oil in a small non-stick pan over medium heat.
  3. Add the egg whites to the pan. Let the egg whites set for about 10 seconds, then use a spatula to gently scramble the egg whites. Keep the heat on medium or medium-low so that the egg whites don't cook too quickly. When completely cooked, the egg whites should be soft and fluffy and no longer watery.
  4. You can flavor your egg whites if you want - add chives, green onion, red pepper flakes, red onion or fresh herbs.
  5. You can add grated cheddar as the egg whites cook, or wait until the egg whites are mostly cooked but still a little bit watery and add sliced cheese.
  6. If using sliced cheese, turn off the heat and put a lid over the pan once you lay the slices over the egg whites. Let the pan set for about 1 minute, until the cheese is melted.
  7. Toast your English muffins.
  8. Spread butter or drizzle olive oil on the toasted English muffin. Add the egg white with cheese, then the turkey bacon.
