Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium chicken broth

  • Ground black pepper

  • 1 ounce cooked turkey sausage, sliced

  • ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered

  • 2 tablespoons finely shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese

  • 1 whole-grain English muffin, halved and toasted

Directions

  1. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Preheat skillet over medium heat.

  2. In a medium bowl, use a whisk or rotary beater to beat together eggs, broth and black pepper; stir in sliced sausage.

  3. Pour egg mixture into hot skillet. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, until mixture begins to set on the bottom and around edges.

  4. With a spatula or a large spoon, lift and fold the partially cooked egg mixture so the uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking over medium heat until almost set; add tomatoes and cheese. Cook about 1 minute more or until egg mixture is cooked through but is still glossy and moist.

  5. Serve over toasted English muffin halves.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
