By srumbel

Easy, peasy and terrific for a quick, hearty and really delicious, vegetarian breakfast. I’ve made it with egg whites or you could use a regular scrambled egg. This recipe makes 1 serving but make as many as desired. One sandwich has 262 calories, 9 grams of fat and 7 Weight Watchers SmartPoints.

Shopping Tips

Oroweat Sandwich Thins and other brands can be found in most large supermarkets. One sandwich thin has 100 calories, 1g fat and 5g fiber. They come in several flavors with the same nutrition facts. Use your favorite.

I like Trader Joe’s Reduced-Sugar Preserves. Smuckers and Knott’s also make tasty ones. Use your favorite flavor.
