Healthy Egg McMuffin

Ever since I saw the original McDonalds Egg McMuffin I've making my own, home-made version that tastes just like it!

This is a great and quick meal to make, and it's loaded with protein.

It's also an effective way to satisfy your fast food cravings.

Enough talk, let's get on with the recipe.

You will need:

One egg
2 Slices of Smoked Turkey Fillet
2 Slices of Cheddar
One English Muffin(preferably whole grain)

optional:

margarine/butter

note:You can pretty much use any meat, to substitute the Turkey Fillet, like bacon, pork fillets etc.

And instead of an English Muffin, you could use just plain bread, hamburger buns etc.

Get your pan heated up(throw in some butter in there if you're bulking and can afford the calories).
Get your turkey in there, and let it cook for a couple of minutes, so it gets somewhat crispy.Then take it out of the pan and put it somewhere nearby, as you will need it again soon.
Start frying your egg.
Once your egg is done, put the turkey slices on-top of each other and put them back in the pan.
Place the egg over the turkey.
Take your slices of cheese and place them on top of the egg.
Everything should stick together nicely, move your sandwich "core" onto a plate.
Toast your English muffin, put some margarine on it if again you can afford the calories.
Finally place your "core" between your bread.
And enjoy your home-made Egg McMuffin.

Nutritional info for one sandwich:

note:Keep in mind that these depend heavily on how big your slices are, what kind of cheese you're using, how big your egg is, what kind of bread you're using.I would recommend finding the macros on your own, as you'll probably be using slightly different products.
Specifically for these nutritional facts I've used a large egg and some pretty big turkey and cheese slices.

You can heavily reduce the fat content by using a low-fat or no-fat cheese.

Enjoy!
