YUMMY AND HEALTHY BANANA FRENCH TOAST SANDWICH



Yummy and Healthy Banana French Toast Sandwich image

This is something I just tinkered with until it came out to my liking. I tried it with jelly on the inside, but I couldn't taste it, so I just decided to leave the jelly out. The bananas still stay in between the bread without it. It's very delicious and low-fat as well. It doesn't even need syrup.

HEALTHY, LOW-FAT BREAKFAST SANDWICH "ON-THE-GO"



Healthy, Low-Fat Breakfast Sandwich

I am busy, busy, busy! And I usually don't allow myself much time in the morning for breakfast, so I developed a quick, healthy, and delicious breakfast sandwich that keeps me going until lunch! I recently purchased the Ziploc version of the foodsaver, and IT WORKS GREAT!!! (I had a foodsaver, and it broke, and I wasn't spending another $150!) I make these sandwiches ahead of time (really easy), seal them in the Ziploc foodvac, and freeze them until ready to eat. Give it a try!!

Time 15m

Yield 1 sandwich, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 whole wheat English muffin, not toasted
1 slice low-fat cheese, of choice (I like provolone or sharp white cheddar)
1 eggs or 1 egg substitute
1 slice turkey bacon, cooked (optional)
nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat a small skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Beat the egg in a small bowl and add salt, pepper and/or a dash of milk (for a fluffier egg).
  • Cook the egg over med-low heat in an omelette style fashion (meaning, don't scramble the egg, but let it take the shape of the pan).
  • Flip and cook on the other side.
  • Assemble the sandwich -- English muffin bottom, egg (folded to fit), turkey bacon, cheese, English muffin top.
  • The sandwich can then be place in the toaster oven or convection oven to toast the bread and melt the cheese -- However.
  • I like to make as many of these as I can, foodvac them, and freeze them. In the morning while I'm getting ready, I pop one in the convection oven at about 375 degrees and in 15 minutes I have a sandwich better than they can make at McDonalds -- To-Go!
  • Enjoy!
  • Note: Sorry if the instructions were lengthy for such a simplistic recipe!

YUMMY AND PRETTY HEALTHY BREAKFAST BAGEL SANDWICH



Yummy and Pretty Healthy Breakfast Bagel Sandwich image

Just whipped this up and it was so good I had to share it! The measurements are approximate as I did not measure anything. Use what looks good to you.

Provided by zaar junkie

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 2 bagel sandwiches, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 -5 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
8 button mushrooms, sliced and pan fried
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 -3 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese
2 whole wheat bagels

Steps:

  • Slice and pan fry mushrooms.
  • In a bowl, beat the eggs and then add the feta cheese, mushrooms, and garlic and mix well. Put this mixture in a preheated, greased small skillet. You want to use a small skillet, like an omlette skillet so the mixture cooks thick. Cover and let cook on medium to medium-high heat.
  • Meanwhile, cut your bagels and toast them. Add cream cheese to your liking.
  • Check on the eggs. The egg mixture is pretty thick, so I've found I've needed to lift the edges to let the runny stuff flow underneath to make sure the entire thing cooks through. Once the bottom side starts getting brown, use a spatual and flip the entire thing over. You may need to use two spatulas, but I was able to flip mine with little difficulty. Cover and cook the other side.
  • Once egg mixture is fully cooked, remove from skillet and cut in pieces. Place stategically on bagels and cut in half. Serve while warm. Enjoy!
