Preparation
Step 1
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray an 8” X 8" baking pan with nonstick spray.
In a medium-large bowl, combine egg whites/substitute with seasonings. Whisk thoroughly.
Pour egg mixture into the baking pan. Bake until firm and cooked through, 18 - 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, split and toast the English muffins. Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Cook Canadian bacon until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side.
Sprinkle cheese over baked egg mixture. Bake until melted, about 2 minutes.
Slice egg bake into 4 squares. If eating immediately, lay a square on top of each bottom muffin half. Top with Canadian bacon. Finish with top muffin halves.
To freeze: Before assembling sandwiches, let egg bake squares cool completely, about 30 minutes. Once assembled, tightly wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and place them in a large sealable freezer bag (or container). Remove as much air as possible, and freeze for up to a month.
To reheat: Unwrap one frozen sandwich, tightly wrap in a paper towel, and place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave at 50 percent power for 1 1/2 minutes. Microwave at full power for another 1 1/2 minutes, or until cheese has melted and sandwich is hot.
