Copied from Real Simple's Website
Ingredients:
-4 slices rustic country bread
-1 pound asparagus, tough ends trimmed
-2 tablespoons olive oil
-kosher salt and black pepper
-8 large eggs*
-1/4 cup Parmesan (1 ounce)
*Because the eggs in this recipe are not fully cooked, there is a risk of food-borne illness.
Directions:
1) Heat broiler. Place the bread and asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
2) Broil until the bread is toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side; transfer the bread to plates. Continue broiling the asparagus, tossing once, until tender, 4 to 8 minutes more.
3) Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the water. Reduce heat and gently simmer for 6 minutes. Cool under running water and peel.
4) Divide the asparagus among the toast, sprinkle on the Parmesan, and top with the eggs.

Breakfast Sandwich
Inspired by Hungry Girl's Egg-Mug Recipes
Ingredients:
-2 large egg whites (or use 1/2 c. Egg Beaters; it's cheaper to use real eggs, though)
-chopped vegetables (I like onions, mushrooms, spinach and broccoli, but I often just use whatever's left over)
-1/8 c. 2% shredded cheddar
-1 Arnold Select 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich Thin*
-I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray
Directions:
1) Spray a tall, microwave-safe mug with nonstick spray.
2) Put vegetables in the mug and microwave for 1 minute, 15 seconds.
3) Add egg whites or Egg Beaters to mug. Stir well. COVER TIGHTLY, as the eggs tend to blow up (I use a snug-fitting Ziploc bag, as even plastic wrap can be blown off). Microwave for 1 minute.
4) Meanwhile, pop the sandwich thin in the toaster.
5) To assemble, spray the sandwich thin with spray butter, place eggs on the bottom bun and sprinkle eggs with cheese.
*I also sometimes use low-calorie flour tortillas.
