If you time it so that the egg and the muffin are done at the same time, the heat between them will perfectly melt the cheese for this drippy sandwich that easily rivals your favorite fast food version.
Ingredients :
1 strip extra-lean turkey bacon, cut in half crosswise
Olive oil spray
1 large egg white
1 light multigrain or whole wheat English muffin (8 grams fiber per muffin;
I used Thomas'), toasted
1 (3/4-ounce) slice fat-free yellow American cheese
Method :
1. Place a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the bacon. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until crisp. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.
2. Spray a 31/2" or 4" microwave-safe bowl with the olive oil spray and add the egg white. Microwave for 30 seconds. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals until it is just set completely.
3. Assemble the sandwich by placing the bottom half of the warm English muffin, inside up, on a plate. Top with the cheese, the egg, then the bacon. Add the English muffin top and serve.

Budget Tips from The Biggest Loser :
1. Egg substitute and egg white-only products can be a lot more expensive than eggs.
2. Save money by buying a dozen eggs, instead, and using only the whites.
3. If you have a friend or neighbor who can make use of the yolks-all the better!
