• 1 slice bread

Preparation

1. Toast the Bread Toast 1 slice of bread to your preferred level of crispiness.
2. Crisp the Pepperoni Place 6 slices of turkey pepperoni on a paper towel-lined microwave-safe plate. Microwave for 30 seconds, flip the slices, then microwave for another 30 seconds until slightly crisp.
3. Cook the Eggs While the toast is toasting, heat a small nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray if needed. Pour in 3 tablespoons of Egg Beaters, then crack 1 whole egg on top. Season as desired (salt, pepper, garlic powder, etc.). Cook until the egg whites begin to set, then gently flip the egg mixture. Reduce heat to low or turn off completely and let it finish cooking to your preferred doneness.
4. Assemble the Sandwich Once the toast is ready, place it on a plate. Spread 2 tablespoons of low-fat cottage cheese over the toast and season if desired. Layer the crisped pepperoni slices on top of the cottage cheese. Add the egg once cooked, and top with salsa.
5. Finish & Serve

Tips/Story

• I like my yolk runny.
• I use Freihofer Reduced calorie bread (40 calories per slice).
• I season my egg/cottage cheese with Red Robin seasoning.
• In place of the pepperoni, I’ll use any leftover lean protein, such as chicken breast.
• This is my go-to breakfast for my work from home days.
• You can always just use more eggbeaters and skip the whole egg.
