Good Morning! Are you hungry for breakfast? I hope so, because I made you a delightful and healthy breakfast! With all of the crazy sweet treats that I have been making and with many more to come, I need some healthy food to throw in or I will be as big as Santa! Not Good! I found this recipe in The Pioneer Woman’s From My Frontier Cookbook. I know that we all love Ree and one day we all hope to have her success. I beg pretty please every day to one day have a blog with her kind of success! Until that day comes around (way off in the future!) I will just keep baking and cooking and blogging! All that day dreaming can make a girl really hungry and there is nothing like a filling and satisfying breakfast to start the day off!
Ree’s version had some heavy duty ingredients in it and I wanted to lighten it up a bit. I mean I have 2 hungry men here but they are not Ranchers that are in the fields all day. So as wonderful as her recipes are they can be kinda loaded! I used turkey bacon and just half of the yolks and mostly whites. I have no formula to determine just how many calories I saved but I know it had to be quite a few! I can tell you that you won’t miss the calories or the fat grams in this lightened up version! They were gobble up good and they gave us great fuel to start the day! I kinda wish I was eating one right now!
Go ahead and have a second one! You have a busy day ahead and need a good hearty breakfast to keep you going!
This is a recipe adapted from The Pioneer Woman. This can all be assembled the night before and broiled in the morning for faster service!
Ingredients
- 6 English Muffins
- 6 hard boiled eggs (I used the whites of all six and the yolks of only three)
- 1/2 cup fat free mayo
- 6-8 slices turkey bacon
- 2 tbs Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I used 2% milk cheese)
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- make and peel the hard boiled egg chop them in small pieces
- make and crumble the turkey bacon
- in a bowl mix the mayo, mustard, salt and pepper, and Worcestershire sauce
- fold in the eggs and bacon and cheese
- spread mixture on each half of the English muffins
- broil on low for 3-5 min (careful not to burn them. I turned the pan halfway through)
- Enjoy!

They look delicious and I would definitely have them not only for breakfast
these look fantastic. I love me a savory breakfast AND I love being able to do a good part of it ahead of time.
Thanks Margo! I too love a good breakfast and the overnight ready to in the morning even better!
This looks so good! I know what I’m having for breakfast now. Thanks for linking up!
Thanks Cristina! Also thank you for hosting such a great Linky Party!
What a great breakfast! And I love that you lightened up the original recipe – I agree, I’m not a rancher man, so I don’t need quite so many calories + or so much fat. =)
Hee Hee! I think my hubby would have rather had the full fat version but I just tell him to get over it! = )
Thanks Ashley!
Oooooh these look great–we will have to give them a try!
Oh I think The Tall boy and Doodle will love them!
I hope you guys love it!
