Ingredients:

  • 1 8 oz. package turkey or veggie bacon
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 4 whole wheat English muffins, split
  • 4 slices low-fat Cheddar or soy cheese
  • 1 tomato, sliced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup basil leaves, loosely packed (optional)
  • 1 ripe, fresh avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and mashed

Instructions:

  1. Place turkey bacon in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, turning once, until nicely browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Pour eggs into the same skillet and cook, lifting edge of egg from pan with a spatula and tilting so that uncooked egg runs underneath. When mostly set, flip over and cook another 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
  2. Toast English muffins while still warm, place cheese on bottom half.
  3. Add tomato and basil. Divide egg into 4 pieces and place on tomato. Top with turkey bacon and mashed avocado. Place remaining muffin half on top. Serve immediately.
