Ingredients
  • 2 slices sprouted whole grain bread (toasted)
  • 1/2 - 1 cup egg whites (carton or fresh, if only using 1/2 cup egg whites more protein will be needed to reach 25 grams)
  • 1 small zucchini (sliced, or 1 sliced tomato)
  • TH Mineral Salt
  • black pepper
  • TH Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 Light Laughing Cow Cheese (1 wedge)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Spray a large pan with coconut (or other) oil and heat to medium/high. Pour whites in but try to contain them to one side of the pan. Put the sliced zucchini (or tomato) on the other side of the pan.
  2. 2
    Sprinkle egg whites and zucchini well with the salt, pepper and nutritional yeast. Crisp the egg whites and zucchini slices on both sides. After removing the cooked whites from the pan, put a lid on the pan and cook the zucchini all the way through for another couple minutes.

OTHER NOTE:

Keep mayo to one teaspoon, feel free to add Greek yogurt or mustard. But here is a warm, hearty sandwich that doesn't rely on meat. We absolutely love this one. You just might find yourself making it over and over again.

If you have to stay away from gluten, this sandwich can be made with WWBB bread (page 242 of Trim Healthy Table). Be sure to have a side of fruit if you 're aiming for E Meal a without the fruit, making it with the WWBB bread would result in an FP Meal.
