We recommend these protein-packed sandwiches as a delicious start to one’s day, no matter whether it begins at sunrise or perhaps a little later.

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp (45 mL) light mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) milk (1%)
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) lemon juice
  • ½ tsp (2.5 mL) grated lemon rind
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
  • 8 slices multigrain, French or Italian bread

Instructions

  • Step 1

    Place mayonnaise in small microwave-safe bowl; whisk in milk. Microwave on Medium (50% power) just until hot, about 45 seconds, stirring after 30 seconds. Whisk in Parmesan cheese, lemon juice and rind until smooth. Set sauce aside.

  • Step 2

    Spray large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet. Break yolks with edge of spatula. Cook eggs to preferred doneness.

  • Step 3

The Parmesan cheese sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated. When ready to serve, warm briefly in microwave on Medium-High (75% power).

Instead of sliced bread, use English muffins, kaisers or burger buns.
