Healthy Egg White Scramble Sandwich (pictured above)

Who says eggs should only be eaten for breakfast? Try this healthy and delicious recipe for dinner or breakfast.

INGREDIENTS

½ cup button mushrooms, sliced
½ zucchini, halved and sliced into half moons (about ½ cup)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Whites from 4 eggs
Salt and pepper, to taste
6-8 dashes of Tabasco sauce
2 slices whole wheat bread, toasted

DIRECTIONS

Sauté the mushrooms and zucchini with olive oil in a small pan over medium-low heat. Once cooked, about 5 minutes (you want them to still retain a little firmness), transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to help soak up the liquid released from the mushrooms.

In a small bowl, beat the egg whites well and season with a little salt (not too much!) and pepper. In the same small pan over medium-low heat, cook the egg whites, scrambling them with a spatula. When the eggs are almost ready, about 5-6 minutes, mix the vegetables back in and add the Tabasco sauce. Remove from the heat.

Divide the scramble over 2 pieces of prepared toast and serve.
