The following is less of a recipe and more of a suggested assembly of products as there is scant cooking actually involved. 
What is it about those calorie and cholesterol packed breakfast sandwiches served at the golden arches? I have never been a real fan of other things served there but I will be honest and admit that there have been times that what my sister refers to as a “meaty cheesy yum-yum” has been a lifesaver the morning after imbibing too much.
There is no reason that you can’t make a healthier version of the famous breakfast sandwich at home and that’s what I did this morning.
- I toasted a whole wheat english muffin
- I followed the heating instructions on my favorite veggie sausage patty (Morningstar http://www.seeveggiesdifferently.com/product_detail.aspx?family=934&id=355 )
- I brushed some of my favorite vegan margarine on the toasted muffin (Earth Balance http://www.earthbalancenatural.com/#/products/original/ )
- I assembled the veggie pattie and a slice of “Swiss” soy cheese (Veggie Slices http://www.galaxyfoods.com/ourbrands/usa/veggie.asp )
- I put the sandwich open faced under my broiler until the cheese melted (you could also use a toaster oven).
- Serve!
You’ll notice that I didn’t have any egg on my sandwich which is because I never really ate the egg product served on those famous muffins anyway. There is no reason that you couldn’t add an actual cooked egg (or egg whites) if you eat them or use an egg substitute and add it to your sandwich assembly. Even if you use non-soy products like a turkey sausage patty and real cheese on your homemade muffin sandwich it will still be a million times better for you than the fast food version without skimping on taste.
