Working out for 40 minutes on my lunch break and doing an hour of P90X at night has helped me shed a whopping pound. My problem is (on top of Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner) all that chocolate bark I made for the holidays. And my addiction to foodgawker and tastespotting that fuels my sweet tooth.
I needed to get back on the egg white wagon to save a few calories. One of my old weight watcher tricks is to add low fat cheese and lots of veggies to both visually add more volume and get another veggie in. This is one of my good ol' standbys with my favorite Arnold Sandwich thin.
Back to Egg White Sandwich
Ingredients
2 Campari tomatoes
Handful of fresh, organic baby spinach leaves1 tsp mince garlic
1 Arnold Sandwich Thin (AST), toasted
1/3 cup egg whites
EVOO spray
Tony Chachere's Cajun seasoning, to taste
1 slice reduced fat cheddar or American cheese
Directions
1. Spray a small skillet with EVOO spray and heat over medium heat.
2. Cut the tomatoes in half and place cut side down to cook for about 2 minutes or until they start to get a nice caramelization. Flip once and add the spinach and garlic and sauté until the spinach wilts then set veggies aside.
3. Beat the egg whites, add some Cajun seasoning. Wipe out the skillet and spray with additional EVOO spray then add the egg whites. Cook until the edges set and middle begins to firm. Flip once and let sit for about 30 seconds and then fold.
4. Place the egg white on the AST, top with the veggies and then top that with the cheese.

I eat egg sandwiches on arnold's sandwich thins all the time! But I do 1 egg, plus an extra egg white. I should start putting all those veggies on too...I can always use extra vegetables in my day. Great idea :)
Now that Dunkin Donuts offers the eggwhite sandwich,
it's my "road food" since it is so hard to find
protein - vegetarian food when traveling.
Love your recipe!
