Better than Takeout

So last night it was late and we were considering doing the fast food thing. Luckily we resisted and I came up with something even faster, cheaper and definitely healthier...all with a few simple items that were on hand. Here's my take on an Italian-inspired egg muffin - delicious with a green salad. So simple, I'm not sure it even qualifies as a "recipe." We were glad to have skipped the drive-thru.

Ingredients.
1 English Muffin, split into halves
1/3 c. Marinara Sauce
2 eggs
1/4 c. shredded Italian Cheese (i.e. Romano, Parmesan, Asiago)
Salt and Black Pepper to Taste
Cooking Spray

Directions.
Toast English Muffin slices. Spray frying pan with cooking spray and place over moderate heat. Once pan is hot, add eggs and cook to desired doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper and turning once. Lower heat and sprinkle 1/2 of the cheese over each egg, to melt cheese. Top each muffin half with 1/2 of the Marinara sauce and place an egg over each one.

Yield.
1-2 Servings.
