An Egg McMuffin Swap

I am not huge on fast food breakfast but every now and then I get a craving for some McDonald’s Hashbrowns or a McGriddle or a McMuffin. Luckily it is not often because they are killers when it comes to Weight Watcher points. I came across a McMuffin “Weight Watchers” swap a while ago. I can’t remember where I found the recipe or what actually was in it but I decided it couldn’t be that hard to figure out myself. So a few weeks ago I decided to give the swap in my head a try. I have to say, I did a pretty darn good job because now I am hooked on my McMuffin swap and it is super easy to make even on work days. In under 5 minutes, I have everything cooked and ready to be put together.

So here is how you do it:

Ingredients:

1 Lite English Muffin
1 Slice Fat Free Cheese
1/3 cup of Egg Beaters
1/4 cup frozen veggies
2 pieces precooked turkey bacon

How to cook:

Preheat your skillet on medium heat. Spray with non-fat cooking spray
Cut English Muffin in half. Put in Toaster and start cooking
Put 2 slices of bacon on plate and microwave for 20 seconds.
Cook frozen veggies until they are soft. Then add the eggs. Scramble until cooked.
Take out English Muffin and put sliced cheese on it. Microwave for 15 seconds until cheese is melted.
Add turkey bacon to english muffin and then egg/veggie mixture. Season with Salt/Pepper and put the top of the muffin over the eggs.

Voila! You have a great Egg McMuffin swap and it is only 5 points!
