Extra Time (breakfast 11/12/08)
I had a little extra time this morning to make breakfast so I thought I would experiment with an egg white sandwich. I saw Tina’s fabulous idea of the egg white patty and thought it would go well with a whole wheat English muffin. Thanks, Tina! I used 2 egg whites in the microwave for about 90 seconds and it worked great. The photos for this post aren’t as great as they could be because I ended up spending so much time preparing it that I didn’t have the time to make them pretty!
I’ve been super jealous of the sandwich thins that are floating around blog world lately so I thought I’d try to make my own and cut a whole wheat English muffin into four parts instead of two. It worked great! So I used two thin muffins as my shell and put the egg white patty between sprinkled with just a tiny bit of Mexican blend cheese (<0.5 oz) and of course some salsa. Perfection! And the best part is that for all these nutrients, the sandwich was less than 200 calories!
I supplemented it with a banana an 1T of peanut butter to seal the deal.
Happy Wednesday, folks!

Banana & PB = classic combination. Holy yum.
HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
YUM salsa- great idea on your own sandwich thin; but the arnolds ones are 100 calories- isn’t that about the same as an english muffin anyway? I Love waking up with extra time in the morning to make a real breakfast! And anything with salsa= fab
Have a great wednesday- we’re almost through the week
Hehe, I last breakfast posts WERE similar. I got the idea of microwaving my eggs from Tina too
Happy humpday!
Jess: These English muffins I have are pretty hefty at 175 calories! But I am still dying to try the sandwich thins! Come December they are on my list along with Chobani, Barney Butter, and all the other blogger favs!
OH NO! I hate to break it to you but you can’t get arnold’s in california
:( And yes, I’m pretty broken up about it. Maybe in Hawaii? Forget a lei, bring back sandwich thins! Haha. Wow your english muffins are hearty! I’d probably cut it is half too!
