Prep: 5 mins
Cook: 5 mins
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 English muffins, sliced in half
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons 1% fat milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 40g lower-fat soft cheese
- 4 slices lean roast ham
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
Method
-
Preheat the grill. Toast the muffins on the cut sides only.
Information:Try using wholemeal soft rolls instead of English muffins, for a change.
-
Meanwhile, beat the eggs and milk together. Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick saucepan and add the eggs. Cook and stir to scramble them.
Information:If you prefer, poach the eggs in gently simmering water for 3 to 4 minutes, until set, but still runny in the middle.
-
Spread half the toasted muffins with reduced fat soft cheese and top with a slice of ham. Share the scrambled egg between the muffins, season with black pepper, then top with the remaining muffin halves.
Information:For a vegetarian version, substitute the ham for sliced grilled tomatoes or sliced mushrooms, simmered in reduced-salt vegetable stock.
