Breakfast Sandwiches - OAMC

Submitted by Robyns Cookin

"Other than the processed cheese slices, everything about these sandwiches is healthier than the store-bought kind. I tried using regular cheddar cheese instead of the processed slices, but it just wasn't the same, so processed cheese it is! I got lucky and happened to have a round cookie cutter that is the exact same size as my English muffins (3.5-inches) and a perfectly sized casserole dish (10.5x14-inches) for cooking my eggs in. I'm able to do three rows of four, and the only "extras" are the little diamond shapes between the circles, which I usually wrap up in a tortilla with ham and cheese for a bonus breakfast burrito for my fiance.

I have been making breakfast sammys like this for several years now and I love them! Instead of using eggs I buy a large carton of egg beaters, two packages of light english muffins and one package of 97% fat free honey ham or smoked turkey. I use a large muffin tin to bake my "eggs" and a slice of processed cheese as well. Mine caculates out to 205 calories per sandwich. Very filling and easy to take along to work.
