Lighten-up your breakfast sandwich in a hurry!

Breakfast food is delish, is it not? And though it might seem like it’s most convenient to run through a drive-thru to pick up a breakfast sandwich, I can assure you that it is not convenient for your health.

Check out this quick and healthy way to make-over your drive-thru run at home.

Cheesy Egg Sandwich

• 2 slices of light bread toasted (I like Sara Lee’s 45 calorie slices)
• 1 American cheese slice made with 2% milk
• 1 large egg, fried to perfection with 2 sprays cooking spray
