Ingredients

  • 6 English muffins split
  • 5 whole eggs or egg whites beaten
  • 1/2 bell pepper sliced into thin strips
  • 1/4 medium onion sliced thinly
  • 6 slices pepper jack cheese
  • 6 slices Canadian 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.
