After 6 days on the low-carb eating plan, I am so pleased to say I have lost 8 pounds! Woohoo! After eating scrambled eggs all week, I am already slightly bored with them. This morning I wanted a fried egg sandwich so bad. With my limited number of ingredients on hand (Anyone who knows me at all knows it is highly unlikely that I will get to the store before 10 am on a weekend) I came up with something to satisfy my fried egg sandwich craving.
Recipe for 1 person:
2 eggs
6 pieces deli-ham (I used black forest ham, which has 0 carbs, watch out for honey ham as it has sugar in it)
2 slices cheese (I used monterey jack which was a yummy combo)
Fresh ground black pepper
1) Crack two eggs into a greased skillet on medium heat, keeping the yolk intact. When the whites are firm enough to flip, flip the eggs.
2) Place a piece of cheese on each egg.
3) As the cheese is melting, heat of the ham in the skillet. You should hear a nice sizzle and the ham will get slightly browned. Remove ham from heat.
4) Lay three pieces of ham down on plate, slightly overlapping each one.
5) Place cheesy egg in center ham piece. Top with fresh ground pepper. Roll up ham around egg. You may need to secure your roll with a toothpick. Dip your roll into the yummy runny yolk. Such a good substitute for a high-carb egg mcmuffin! My craving was completely satisfied.
A normal egg-sandwich has around 29 carbs in it. For two roll ups, there are only 3 carbs! Good start to the day.
