Instructions
- Split and toast the English muffin.

- Pan-fry the bologna in a nonstick skillet until lightly browned, turning once.
- Cook the egg or egg substitute until desired doneness.
- Place the cooked bologna and egg on the bottom half of the toasted muffin, then top with a slice of low-fat cheese.
- Cover with the top half of the muffin and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavor boost, try adding a slice of tomato or some avocado to your Egg Mcmom. You can substitute the chicken bologna with turkey bologna or even bacon for a different taste. If you're looking for a lighter option, consider using an egg substitute or egg whites. Toast the muffin until it's golden brown for added crunch.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Egg Mcmom with a side of fresh fruit or a small salad for a balanced breakfast or lunch. A dollop of hot sauce can also add a nice kick. This dish pairs beautifully with Chicken Tetrazzini(Make Ahead) for a delicious brunch spread. Enjoy it alongside a cup of coffee or tea to round out your meal.
