Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package of mushrooms
- 1 large green pepper
- 1 small onion
- 4 ounces sliced turkey-ham
- salt
- salad oil
- 1 4-ounce container of liquid whole eggs, reduced cholesterol
- 1 13-ounce package, sandwich-size English muffins, reduced cholesterol
- 4 slices low fat cheese (optional)
- 12 slices turkey bacon, cooked (optional)
Instructions
- Slice mushrooms. Dice green pepper, onion, and turkey-ham.
- In nonstick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, in 1 tablespoon hot salad oil, cook mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt until any liquid evaporates and mushrooms are golden brown; remove to bowl; keep warm.
- Reduce heat to medium. In 1 more tablespoon hot salad oil, cook onion 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in green pepper and cook until onion is very tender and green pepper is lightly browned, about 5 minutes longer.
- In medium bowl, with fork, beat liquid whole eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, turkey-ham, and 2 tablespoons water. Pour egg mixture into onion mixture in skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until eggs are set around edge; with spatula, gently lift edge as it sets, tilting skillet to allow uncooked portion to run under egg mixture. When egg mixture is set, remove skillet from heat.
- Meanwhile, preheat broiler if manufacturer directs. With fork, split each English muffin in half. Place English muffins, cut-side up, on cookie sheet. Broil English muffins until lightly browned.
- Cut omelet into quarters. On bottom half of each English muffin, place 1 quarter of omelet, folding omelet over slightly to fit. Spoon sautied mushrooms over sandwiches. Replace tops of muffins. Arrange sandwiches on platter with cherry tomatoes.
