Healthy Five Ingredient Recipes
Wowsa! You all LOVED my Recipes for Back-to-School Evenings blog post! I’m kind of sad it was so popular because that must mean you all are BUSY! Too bad you all weren’t relating to my Low Calorie Summer Cocktail Recipes post, right?
I got you.
This week I’m back sharing recipes you love! These will all cook up quick (aka on a busy school night) but, even better, they use only five ingredients.
Get a load of these breakfast sandwiches. Not only do they:
Take less than a half hour to make
Use less than five different ingredients
Fill your fast food breakfast craving
They are freezer-friendly! They are the perfect pick for busy school MORNINGS.
You can:
Reheat in the microwave for yourself
Reheat in the oven for the whole family
Enjoy a healthy meal on the go!
No fast food drive in needed.
Egg, Sausage, and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches
Ingredients
6 100% whole wheat english muffins
6 Eggs (or 3 whole eggs and the rest egg whites)
1 lb lean ground breakfast turkey sausage
6 slices cheddar cheese
Directions
ENGLISH MUFFINS: Set broiler to high. Lightly toast english muffins.
EGGS: Coat skillet lightly with cooking spray (I use olive oil). Fry eggs until yolk is no longer runny.
SAUSAGE: Form meat mixture into patties that are about the size of your english muffin (they will shrink when cooked). Place in a preheated skillet over medium high heat and cook until middle is no longer pink. About 5 min/side.
ASSEMBLY: Assemble sandwiches. English muffin bottom, egg, sausage, cheese (optional), english muffin top).
STORAGE/COOKING DIRECTIONS: Allow sandwiches to cool completely. Wrap each individual sandwich in plastic wrap and store in the freezer. To cook, wrap frozen sandwich in a paper towel and microwave until warmed through, about 1-2 minutes depending on microwave strength or place in oven at 350 degrees until completely thawed and cheese is melted, about 8-12 minutes.
Just because I’m limiting ingredient options doesn’t mean I’m limiting your recipes. This week’s printable has 7 more recipes with short ingredient lists. I got you started with breakfast, but click the link below for quick, easy options for lunch, snack, and dinner!
