Introduction

This is a delicious breakfast that definitely tastes like more calories than it is! Lots of lean protien and whole grains make it very filling and help you last til lunch time. It's also a favorite mid-night snack of mine if I missed dinner but don't want to go to sleep totally on empty! This is a delicious breakfast that definitely tastes like more calories than it is!

Ingredients

    2 large eggs
    1 Light Whole Wheat English Muffin
    2 slices lean ham
    2 slices low fat cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or muenster work best)
    1 tsp Dijon Mustard
    1/2 c non-fat milk
    1 T butter
    1 T flour

Directions

Cut the english muffin in half and lightly toast in toaster. Place one slice each of ham and cheese on the toasted muffin and broil until the cheese bubbles.

Poach the two eggs in boiling water (if you don't care for poaching eggs this recipe is still tasty if you do them over-easy or sunny-side up).

Melt butter in a small sauce pan with the milk over medium- medium high heat. Add the Dijon mustard. SLOWLY whisk, while stil over heat, in flour until the sauce thickens.

Place egg on top of the english muffin and drizzle sauce on top. Serve with a side of fruit to round out the meal!
