Total Time10 minutes
Servings: 1
Calories: 565kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 3-oz link chicken sausage (cut into ½-inch cubes)
  • ¼ cup liquid egg whites
  • 1 ounce reduced-fat cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • 2 slices bread

Instructions

  • Spritz a small skillet with nonstick spray and heat the skillet over medium heat.
  • Cut the sausage into pieces. When the skillet is hot, throw the sausage pieces into the skillet and stir them around until the sausage starts browning up a little.
  • Whisk together, the egg, the egg whites, and any desired additions (like herbs, salsa or hot sauce). Pour the eggs the skillet with the sausage. As the eggs start to firm up at the edges, pull back the edges a little bit and let the runny center run out to the edges.
  • When the eggs in the middle of the skillet just start to firm up, sprinkle with the shredded cheddar cheese and throw the 2 slices of bread on top. Continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Flip the whole bread-and-egg concoction out of the skillet and fold in in half. The two pieces of bread are now the outside of an egg-and-sausage sandwich!
