Faster than Drive-thru McBreakfast Sandwich

Found this on a blog and I just had to have this recipe. Follow the link she has some great recipes.


This is super fast and easy - a theme in my world. Plus, almost 1/2 the points of the McDonald’s version. These are a favorite of my BF’s kids. Beats pop-tarts (okay, maybe only points-wise –IMO nothing beats pop-tarts)

  • 1 light English Muffin (1)
  • 1 egg (2) or 1/4 cup egg substitute (1)
  • 1/2 oz thin-sliced ham 98% FF (0.5)
  • 2 tbs FF shredded cheese (0.5)
  • Butter spray

Spray a small microwave safe cup or coffee mug with non-stick. Crack egg into cup and sprinkle cheese on top. Microwave 60-90 seconds until done. Pop English muffin into toaster. When toasted spray with a couple of pumps of butter spray. Slide egg/cheese onto toasted English muffin and add ham. Microwave whole thing 20 seconds to take the chill off of ham. Hit the door running with a healthy low points breakfast that tastes better than the 6.5 points Mc version.

You could also substitute a Laughing Cow cheese wedge or a little FF cream cheese for the cheese and butter spray.

4 points for entire sandwich with egg, 3 points with egg substitute
