Ingredients
6English muffinssplit
5whole eggsor egg whites beaten
1/2bell pepper sliced into thin strips
1/4medium onionsliced thinly
6slicespepper jack cheese
6slicesCanadian bacon
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Place the split English muffins on a baking pan and broil until they are just crispy and slightly brown--about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on them though and don't let them burn. (This step is optional.)
In a small bowl, whisk the beaten eggs or egg whites with 1 tablespoon water and salt and pepper to taste.
Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and add the eggs. Cook over medium low heat until the eggs are just set. Divide the eggs into muffin-sized squares with your spatula and lay one square on the bottom of your muffins.
Add one slice of cheese to each egg.
Wipe out your skillet and add the Canadian bacon. Cook over medium heat until the edges are browned--about 6 minutes and add to the cheese.
Finally, saute your peppers and onions in the same skillet over medium high heat until just softened--about 8 minutes and add a few slices to each sandwich.
Allow to cool slightly then wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until you're ready to serve.
