Ingredients
Scale
- 4 whole grain English muffins
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup egg whites
- 4 turkey breakfast sausage patties
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons green onion
- Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Brush or spray the cut side of the English muffins with olive oil. In a skillet, toast them cut side up until lightly golden, then set aside.
- Lightly grease 4 ramekins with oil or cooking spray. Crack one egg into each ramekin and add 3 tablespoons of egg whites. Use a fork to gently whisk the mixture after breaking the yolks. Sprinkle with ½ tablespoon green onion.
- Bake the eggs for 10–12 minutes, or until just set.
- While the eggs bake, cook the turkey sausage patties according to package directions.
- Assemble the sandwiches: place each baked egg on the bottom half of an English muffin. Top with a sausage patty, a slice of cheddar cheese, and finish with the muffin top.
Notes
Feel free to swap the turkey sausage with a plant-based alternative or use a different cheese if you prefer. For added nutrition, mix in a variety of vegetables into the egg mixture.
