My husband just got home from a 20+ hour trip on multiple buses from out of state. Upon getting home, he was--of course--hungry. So, I whipped this up for him. It only took me around 10-15 minutes to prepare. So easy!
This recipe is fat free, meat and dairy free, and contains protein.
- Lightlife Gimme Lean Sausage [fat-free, vegan, and has 7g of protein per serving!]
- Multi-colored peppers (I used four small ones; quantity depends on your preference)
- Egg whites
- Cooking spray
Spray a skillet with cooking spray. Cut up desired amount of soy sausage, leaving the pieces somewhat chunky, and put them in the skillet. Turn burner onto medium-low heat.
While the sausage is beginning to brown, wash and chop the peppers into short strips. Add them to the skillet. At this point, I think I turned the burner up to about medium heat, so that the peppers would saute quickly, and the sausage would brown faster.
(It's not real meat, so you don't have to worry about it cooking all the way through. You just have to warm it up, and brown it.)
Periodically stir the mixture around. Make sure both sides of the sausage pieces are browning.
Meanwhile, separate the egg whites and yolks. (Or just use the pre-packaged egg whites. I didn't have any, so I separated them myself.)
(In the bowl I separated the whites into, I added some pepper. I also added some more pepper to the skillet once I put the eggs in.)
I personally waited for the sausage to brown a bit more before adding the egg whites, but it's all about your personal preference.
Once the sausage has browned to desirability, add some more cooking spray to the skillet. Then add in the egg whites. Stir/flip mixture, to keep the egg from burning.
Once the egg is cooked, you're ready to go! Voila--a healthy, light, quick, and easy meal!
