Egg-cellent recipes...

sorry, I had to!

Easy egg and tomato sandwich:
-1 egg, prepared as desired
-1 whole wheat English muffin (toasted)
-1 slice of your favorite cheese
-1 slice of tomato
-1 slice of Canadian bacon or ham (or lunch meat of choice)

yes, this is basically a rip off of the egg McMuffin at McD's but it's a healthier and tastier version. If you stick with an egg white, go with 2% milk fat cheese (I can't really tell a difference) and have a piece of fruit it's a healthy and flavorful breakfast that includes all of your major food groups and will keep you full until lunch!

Breakfast burritos:
-turkey sausage or bacon, or diced ham
-diced peppers and onions
-eggs (whole or whites only...try going 1 whole egg and 1 white only to reduce calories and cholesterol if you still want yolk)
-tortilla shells (the fajita size)
-shredded cheese (2% milk fat)
-salsa

cook sausage/bacon and crumble then set aside. In a non-stick skillet heat up 1-2 tablespoons olive oil and saute onion/pepper mixture. Meanwhile, scramble eggs with a few tablespoons milk and add salt and pepper to taste. When veggies are tender, add tomatoes, meat and eggs. Cook until eggs are thoroughly cooked. Spoon eggs onto tortilla shell. Top with shredded cheese and salsa if desired. **these can easily be made ahead of time and frozen for a quick breakfast.


And ladies, let's remember...eggs are not just breakfast food anymore! I'll try and think of some more tasty recipes but I thought I would start with these and make sure you actually like to eat eggs first!

The egg sandwich sounds delish right now!! I'm not much of a burrito eater though.
