Light, protein-packed, and totally customizable, it’s a better-for-you version of the fast food favorite — without the mystery ingredients.

This one’s a Healthy Fast Food at Home classic you’ll want on repeat all week.

 

Ingredients:

  • 2 whole grain or gluten-free English muffins

  • 4 egg whites

  • 2 slices Canadian bacon or turkey bacon

  • 2 slices cheddar or dairy-free cheese

  • Olive oil spray

  • Salt & black pepper to taste

  • Optional: avocado slices, baby spinach, hot sauce

 

Instructions:

  1. Cook the egg whites
    Spray a small skillet or egg ring with olive oil. Add egg whites, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat until set (about 3–4 minutes). Flip if needed.

  2. Toast the muffins
    While eggs cook, toast your English muffins until golden.

  3. Warm the meat and melt the cheese
    In the same pan, heat Canadian bacon for 1–2 minutes per side. Top each egg white with a slice of cheese and let it melt slightly.

  4. Assemble your McMuffin
    Layer muffin base, egg white + melted cheese, Canadian bacon, and any optional extras like avocado or spinach. Top with muffin lid and enjoy warm!

 

Sarah’s Tips:

  • Batch it: Make a few and wrap in foil for fridge-friendly grab-and-go breakfasts.

  • Egg ring tip: Use a mason jar lid or round cookie cutter for perfect circles.

  • Low-carb option: Serve on a lettuce wrap or grain-free English muffin.

  • Make it dairy-free: Use vegan cheddar or skip the cheese altogether.

 

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Homemade Egg White McMuffin is simple, nourishing, and a total fast food glow-up — perfect for busy mornings when you want something warm, savory, and protein-packed without hitting the drive-thru.
