Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons nonfat mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon canned sliced ripe olives, drained
  • 1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion, including green tops
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 slices (about 2 oz. total) whole-wheat or 7-grain bread
  • 1/2 cup (3/4 oz.) alfalfa sprouts

Method

  • With a fork, beat egg, egg whites, and 1 tablespoon water to blend.
  • Set a 6- to 8-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the egg mixture. As mixture sets, use a wide spatula to lift up the cooked portion and let liquid flow underneath until the eggs are cooked as you like.
  • Pour cooked eggs into a bowl and break into bite-size pieces with a fork. Let stand to cool slightly.
  • Mix mayonnaise, mustard, olives, and onion. Add mixture to eggs and mix. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon egg salad evenly over a bread slice. Top with alfalfa sprouts and the remaining slice of bread.
  • Note: If you use purchased egg substitute (1/2 cup) skip step
