English muffins

 

Plain muffins are a really great alternative to toast for breakfast, topped with butter and your favourite spread like honey or jam. They can be eaten hot and straight from the pan or spilt when cooled and toasted. They can be turned into a meal in themselves with recipes like muffin pizzas or eggs benedict. Muffins are traditionally cooked on a griddle, but if you’re making lots, then you can also cook them in a hot oven, cooking for 5-6 minutes on each side.

Eggs and Tomato Breakfast Melts

I’m in love with these easy open faced breakfast sandwiches made on a whole wheat English muffin with egg whites and scallions, then topped with heirloom tomatoes and melted cheese – mmm!

Tomatoes, eggs and scallions are always a winning combination for me – especially now when summer tomatoes are at their sweetest! If you can’t find heirloom tomatoes, red grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes would be just as great.

Ingredients:

  • 2 whole grain English muffins, split
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 8 egg whites, whisked
  • 4 scallions, finely chopped
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 2 oz (about 1/2 cup) reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend, grated
  • 1/2 cup grape or cherry heirloom tomatoes, quartered

Preheat the broiler on high. Place muffins, cut side up, on a baking sheet and broil for 2 minutes or until beginning to lightly brown on edges. (Or you can do this in your toaster oven)

Heat a medium skillet on medium heat. Add oil and sauté 3 of the scallions about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg whites, season with salt and pepper and cook, mixing with a wooden spoon until cooked through. Divide on toasted muffins and top with tomatoes, cheese and remaining scallions. Broil for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until cheese has melted, careful not to burn.
