WLS Egg McMuffin

Hello friends, I am not on the computer much, it hurts to sit in that position. I will be makikng my prescence know soon though, I promise. I do miss yu all and see from some of the headings of the posts that 'we have some trouble in river city' (isn't that the right song from Music Man - I am on a happy pill right now and not sure what I'm saying - but you know!!) I thought maybe some of you would enjoy this wls egg mcmuffin. It's yummy. This egg sandwich will stick with you for HOURS and is loaded with protein & good nutrients AND is portable and easy to carry with you in the old car on the way to work, etc. PAM 1 Egg (or equiv. plain Egg Beaters) Splash of skim milk (may not needed with Egg Beaters) 1 slice cheese (soy cheese melts,lots of flavors, in the produce section of the grocery store) 1/2 teaspoon Bacos or Bacon Bits 1 Thomas' new LITE English Muffin (8grams protein) Spray some PAM (I like the butter flavored) into a coffee cup with a flat bottom, about the size of your English Muffin, or use a small tupperwear-like container or custard dish with a flat bottom. Add one egg, one sliced of soy cheese, torn into quarter-size pieces (I like cheddar or monteray jack w/peppers), Bacon Bits (some are soy, some are real), any veggies you might like (green peppers, mushrooms, onions or banana peppers)and a splash of skim milk. Scramble in the cup, heat in microwave until just done (mine goes 1- 1/4 minutes; some go less than a minute). You don't want it rubbery. In the meantime, split your English muffin, toast it and spread it with lite margarine, if desired. Pop the egg onto the muffin, salt & pepper the egg, and wrap in a paper towel and out you go! The muffin has 8 grams of protein, the egg has about 8, the cheese about 8 and the splash of milk & other stuff, maybe 2 or 3 grams. Anyway, you get about 25 grams of protein, whole grains, veggies and you will be FULL for a long time. Although yogurt and oatmeal are great choices for breakfast, they will never stick with you as long as the WLS Egg McMuffin does. It is particularly good if you know you won't get to eat lunch as early as you need to. This also works great for DINNER! Talk to you all soon, I promise. See, this one little message was all I could do!! I'm a mess. But I did want you to have it in case it would help anyone with some food choices. love donna

Donna, You are about the smartest WLS person I know!! I sure hope I can find the English muffins here in my Commissary(Germany) and would love this idea. THANKS. BTW. I miss your posts and am delighted to hear(read) from you. Hope you are taking GOOD CARE of yourself. Hugs, Love Jacqueline

Hey Jacqueline, yeah, that's me, smart smart smart!! Loved that comment. You're such a cutie. Okay, now if you can't find the english muffins on your post, let me know your address and I'll send you some. And anything else you want (I know you love the Josephs's cookies, but you can get those right?). I'd love to make you a little care package! What do you need!! love donna

hey Donna Thank you!!! I tried this yesterday morning - it was wonderful! I took the ingredients to work with me and made it when I got there! The only thing I did differently was I made it open faced using only 1/2 the muffin. I used 1 egg (scrambled), some skim milk, some bacon bits and some shredded cheese. When it came out of the microwave I placed a slice of american cheese on top and popped it into the toaster oven for 30 seconds on broil just to melt the cheese! The cheese melted around the egg and onto the muffin helping to hold the egg in place. I was full for hours!! Thank you so much - this will now be something I eat 2 or 3 times a week. You're the best! hugsssss....Linda

Hi Linda, yummy, I like your version!! Isn't this the best?? I sometimes make it and have 1/2 for lunch and 1/2 for dinner. It's too much all at once. But it sure is nice and easy and good to eat!!! Thanks for your suggestions, we're such a gourmet group aren't we!!! love donna
