Many people struggle with having no time in the morning for breakfast. This 5 minute breakfast sandwich is so simple to make and can easily wrapped up to eat on the go – quicker than a trip to Starbucks drive-thru. Excellent source of protein, whole grains, and an opportunity for some more veg.
It may be possible to make the eggs in a small bowl (using a plate or plastic wrap as cover), however I recommend using mini-ramekins with lids. Microwave times will vary, so it may take some adjustment of the cooking time when you first attempt.
Customize the flavor with different seasonings and toppings. For example adding garlic powder or chili lime into the eggs, or a bit of soy sauce, mushroom, and teriyaki. A thousand different themes to keep it interesting – hot sauces, peppers, salsa, ketchup, or BBQ. If you prefer lower carbohydrates, swap the English muffin for a low carb bread.
