For the Breakfast Sandwich:
- 1 brioche hamburger bun*
- 1 cup liquid egg whites 225 g
- salt and pepper
- 2 Tbsp reduced-fat feta 14 g
- 1 slice of bacon I used the precooked from Costco at 2.5 fat per slice
- 1 Tbsp skinny basil garlic aioli 15 g
- tomato sliced thin (25 g)
- fresh basil
- fresh arugula
For the Skinny Basil Aioli
- 2 frozen Dorot garlic cubes
- 2 frozen Dorot basil cubes or 2 tsp basil paste or minced fresh basil
- 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream or you can use greek yogurt or light mayo
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Cook your piece of bacon with your preferred method. I just use the precooked and stick one in the microwave!
Make your skinny basil mayo by warming your frozen cubes in a bowl for 20 seconds (or you can thaw if you’ve got time). Then stir in sour cream and a little bit of salt and pepper. Easy peasy!
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and spray with a light mist of cooking spray. Pour in the egg white, sprinkle with a good pinch of kosher salt and a little cracked pepper. Let the whites cook undisturbed for a minute or two until bubbly. Then carefully flip the whole pancake of egg whites and/or fold it all on top of itself. It’s a lot of whites, but you can do it! It’s ok if it breaks, you just don’t want a big scramble that’s falling out of your bun. Top the warm whites with crumbled feta.
Toast your bun in a pan. Top the bottom bun with 1 Tbsp of basil garlic aioli. Add your egg whites, bacon, tomatoes, a little fresh basil, and arugula. ENJOY.
*Any burger or kaiser bun will work, but for this recipe I used and calculated a St Pierre brioche hamburger bun which has 4 fat, 27 carbs, 5 protein, and 160 calories.
