Healthy Egg White Breakfast Sandwich

Recently a reader reached out asking for a quick way to make her favorite Panera Power Breakfast Sandwich at home. The Panera version starts with a sprouted bagel flat that is filled with egg whites, cheddar cheese, spinach, tomato, and avocado and clocks in at around 400 calories. Luckily it couldn't be easier to make this at home. Since I normally aim to have around a 400 calorie breakfast with fruit and coffee, I knew I wanted to create a version that came in around 250-300 calories. To do that, I started with a light English muffin (a bagel thin, sprouted bread, or a sandwich thin would also work) and decided on quick microwave egg whites to make this achievable on the busiest mornings. From there, all you need is tomato, some fresh spinach, avocado, and the cheese. Easy, filling, and nutritious.

Egg White, Tomato, & Avocado Breakfast Sandwich Servings: 1 Serving Size: 1 sandwich Nutritional Info: 281 calories, 12.8g of fat, 34g of carbohydrates, 12.1g of fiber, 16.4g of protein Weight Watchers® PointsPlus®: 7 *

Ingredients

  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 light English muffin
  • 1/4 tomato, sliced
  • 1/4 cup spinach leaves
  • 1/4 avocado
  • 2 tbsp. part skim shredded mozzarella

Instructions

  1. Spray a mug or bowl with cooking spray. Add the eggs whites and cook for 1-1.5 minutes until cooked through. Since egg whites can pop a little in the microwave, cover the bowl with a paper towel and tuck it underneath the bowl to avoid any mess.
  2. Meanwhile toast the English muffin.
  3. Create the sandwich by layering the eggs, tomato, spinach, avocado, and mozzarella.
