Prepare Your Pan on the Stove
Place a 12-inch large cooking skillet onto the stove and turn the stove on to a medium/high cooking temperature. For an easier cleanup, use a non-stick cooking spray before starting.
CAUTION: Remember to wash your hands throughout the cooking process
Prepare Your Toast
Grab two pieces of organic white bread and place them in the toaster at a low to medium setting. Ensure the toast is a light, crispy brown once fully cooked so each bite is crispy!
Crack Two Whole Eggs Into a Bowl
Crack two fresh whole eggs into a bowl and whip with vigor until the eggs are completely liquid. Watch out for eggshells falling into your egg after cracking shells. The bowl can either be a mixing bowl or a cereal bowl.
Pour Egg Whites and Milk Into Measuring Cup
Pour 2/3 cup of 100% liquid egg whites from the carton and 1/3 cup skim milk into one measuring cup.
Pour Full Measuring Cup Into Bowl
Pour the full measuring cup into the bowl with the two whipped whole eggs and stir.

Pour Bowl Into Hot Pan
Pour the bowl into the pan. The pan should already be warm at this point so you will hear a sizzling when pouring.
WARNING: Always be cautious around the hot stove/pan.
Place Toast on Top of the Eggs in the Pan
Grab the two pieces of toast and place them gently into the middle of the pan on top of the eggs. The bottom part of each piece of toast should be touching. Let the eggs with the toast cook in the pan for approximately 7 to 10 minutes.
Begin Preparing Turkey Bacon
While you wait for the eggs to cook, grab two pieces of turkey bacon and place them on a paper plate. To avoid a messy cleanup, place one paper towel under the plate and one paper towel on top of the bacon. Leave bacon in the microwave for two minutes. Once fully cooked, let the bacon cool for a few minutes and then break up each bacon strip into small bite-size pieces.
TIP: Depending on your microwave's wattage, you may need to leave the bacon in the microwave for less or more than two minutes. Make sure the bacon is a shade of dark pink with crispy edges to ensure fully cooked.
Grab One Slice of Fat Free American Cheese
Grab one slice of fat-free American cheese. Slice the cheese into small bite-size pieces.
TIP: Leave the cheese out of the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to separate from the cheese stack.
Attend to Your Eggs
While the egg is finishing cooking, take one of your spatulas and push the sides of the eggs inward towards the toast. By doing this, the egg flip will be much more manageable.

Flip the Eggs
Once the eggs are light brown on the bottom and can be slid around the pan easily, take two spatulas and carefully flip the eggs over to the other side for further cooking. The flipping of the eggs is the trickiest part, so do not get discouraged if you mess it up the first time.
Immediately cut the temperature on the stove in half and let the other side of the eggs finish cooking. This side of the eggs will not need much time, between 5 to 7 minutes to finish cooking.

Add Your Bacon to the Eggs
While the eggs are finishing cooking, you can begin placing bacon pieces on top of the toast that is fused with the eggs. Place the pieces of bacon on the piece of toast farthest from you. Make sure to spread the bacon around so every bite has bacon.
Add Your Cheese to the Eggs
Add your cheese pieces on top of the toast that is fused with the eggs alongside the bacon. Place the pieces of cheese on the piece of toast farthest from you and make sure to spread the cheese around so every bite has cheese.
Fold Your Toast to Form the Sandwich
Once the other side of the eggs is light brown and can be slid around the pan, take one spatula and fold the bottom piece of toast on top of the piece of toast with cheese and bacon to form a sandwich. Use the spatula to press down gently on the top of the sandwich to keep the sandwich together. Turn the stove off completely and use the spatula to transfer the sandwich from the hot pan and on to a plate.
Warning: Do not forget to turn off the stove!
