- Ready In:
- 21mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
2
ingredients
- olive oil flavored cooking spray
- 4 large egg whites
- 1⁄4 cup Canadian bacon, but in 1/4-inch cubes
- 1⁄3 cup chopped onion
- 1⁄3 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1⁄2 cup finely shredded 75% light cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper
directions
- Lightly mist a medium microwave-safe bowl with spray. Put in the egg whites.
- Preheat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly mist it with spray. Place the bacon, onion and bell pepper in the skillet. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the onion and bell pepper are tender, but not browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, microwave the egg whites on low for 30-second intervals until they are just a bit runny on top. Then stir with a fork, breaking the apart into large pieces. By the time you "scramble" and stir them, the residual heat should have cooked away the runniness. If they are still undercooked, microwave them on low in 10-second intervals until just done.
- Turn the heat under the skillet to low. Stir the eggs into the bacon mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with the cheese and cover until the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate or bowl and serve immediately.

<p>Update: I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound poodle mix named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter.
