Yield: 2 x 1/2-muffin servings

Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

1 whole-wheat English muffin
2 mushrooms, sliced
2 green onions, finely chopped
4 Tbsp diced green or red bell pepper
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 dash oregano or Italian seasoning
4 tsp pizza sauce
1/2 cup shredded low-moisture, part-skim Mozzarella cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Split English muffin in half and toast; set aside.

Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms, green onions and bell pepper. Cook, stirring continuously for 2 minutes, or until vegetables are softened. Stir egg substitute, pepper and oregano into vegetable mixture. Cook, stirring continuously until egg substitute is set, about 2 minutes.

Spread 2 teaspoons of pizza sauce onto each English muffin half. Spoon a quarter of the egg mixture over pizza sauce and top with a quarter of the cheese. Spoon the remaining egg mixture and cheese evenly on top of the muffins. Place the muffins on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven* for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

*Or, bake in a toaster oven at 350ºF for 5 minutes.
