I like to make my own English muffins. I do this for a couple reasons. First, my healthy version is 50 calories less than store-bought and packed with protein.
Second, I have the option to spice them up (check out the Garlic Sage English Muffins) so they pair perfectly with the other breakfast sandwich ingredients.
And finally, the store-bought English-muffins are packed with preservatives (which can cause weight gain and fat storage) and they are so expensive these days! Try my low calorie low cost version, or get store-bought. It is really up to you what works best with your diet and schedule.

How to Make English Muffin Breakfast Sandwiches
These low calorie breakfast sandwiches are so quick and easy, you can whip them up in just 5 minutes.
You can also make a big batch of them and freeze the breakfast sandwiches for later. Just make the “scrambled” version of the eggs (they hold up best when re-heated) wrap the assembled sandwiches in parchment paper, and add to a freezer bag or container. They will hold for 1 month in the freezer and one week in the fridge.
You can pop in the microwave for 1 minute from defrosted, or wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 2-3 minutes from frozen.


How to Make Healthy Breakfast Sandwiches:
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with olive oil.
- Cook the eggs (see recipe card for 3 ways) in the hot skillet.
- Meanwhile, add the English muffin to a toaster and toast until desired doneness.
- Add the cheese to the bottom half of the English muffin, top with any desired protein, the cooked eggs and then the top of the English muffin.
- Serve hot.
