I've been dying for an egg sandwich for breakfast. So tomorrow morning I plan to have one cooked egg on an english muffin with leaves of baby spinach (sort of like a florentine thing, plus I like using baby spinach leaves on sandwiches for extra nutrition). However, just the egg and the muffin would leave some taste to be desired, so I was wondering if there was anything I could use to make the sammich taste yummy that's lowfat/lowcal.

Any suggestions? Is there anything you do to make an egg sandwich yummy?

I think a little bit of light mayo would be good on that

I was thinking that too. I usually only use like a teaspoon at a time.

What would be REALLY good is to slather it in a rich hollandaise, but that's out of the question, lol.

A fat-free or low-fat hollandaise sounds delish, but might be more work than you want to put into it!!

Probably so because in the morning I just want to fix something real quick and be done with it. Mornings are crazy for me because I'm also trying to get my son ready for Kindergarten, so I don't have a whole lot of time to focus on breakfast.

If you like it, salsa is what I use. Nett

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone

I might go with my old standby - a "mock" Egg McMuffin. I have one of those egg rings that I use to make a perfect egg "circle" then put it on an english muffin with a lowfat slice of ham and Veggie Slices soy cheese. As long as I only use the white of the egg, the entire thing is only 222 calories.

I made those sandwiches, with the addition of mushrooms and garlic to the spinach and scrambled egg whites a couple of times a week. Whole wheat english muffin, 2 ounce soy soy sausage and a schmear of fat free cream cheese. Heaven. I call 'em Linda McMuffins!

I make mine in advance, freeze them, take them out the night before and put in fridge. Nuke In AM.

Thanks for the recipe, that sounds great. I'd definitely at least make the sauce the night before.
