Scrambled Egg Whites with Turkey Bacon and Whole Wheat English Muffin

Ingredients

• Egg whites 5 large
• Turkey bacon strips 2 strips
• Whole wheat English muffin 1 muffin
• Olive oil spray 1 tsp

Method

1. Prepare your ingredients. Gather all your ingredients. Separate the egg whites from the yolks if you haven't bought pre-separated whites. Measure out 5 large egg whites (about 250g). Have your turkey bacon and English muffin ready.
   Tip: Use a clean bowl to separate egg whites to avoid any yolk contamination, which can affect the texture.
2. Cook the turkey bacon. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the 2 turkey bacon strips in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are browned and slightly crispy. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
   Tip: Keep an eye on the bacon to prevent burning; turkey bacon cooks faster than pork bacon.
3. Toast the English muffin. While the bacon cooks, slice the whole wheat English muffin in half if not pre-sliced. Toast it in a toaster or toaster oven until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
   Tip: If you like, you can lightly butter the muffin after toasting for extra flavor.
4. Cook the scrambled egg whites. Spray the same skillet lightly with 1 tsp olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Pour the egg whites into the skillet over medium-low heat. Let them sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue cooking and gently stirring until the egg whites are fully cooked but still moist and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
   Tip: Cook on medium-low heat to avoid rubbery eggs and achieve a soft texture.
5. Assemble and serve. Place the scrambled egg whites on a plate. Add the cooked turkey bacon strips alongside. Serve with the toasted whole wheat English muffin on the side. Enjoy your balanced and delicious breakfast!
   Tip: You can add a little black pepper or your favorite herbs to the eggs for extra flavor.
