McDonald’s Egg White Delight Breakfast Sandwich
What do I like about the McDonald’s Egg White Delight? I love how filling and nutritious it is – there are just 250 calories in each sandwich, and it keeps me full until lunch.
This sandwich is high in protein, and the whole-wheat English muffin contains a lot of fiber that will help keep you full.
McDonald’s Egg White Delight Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need only a few simple ingredients:
- Egg Whites – You can use regular eggs and save the yolks for another recipe, or you can buy egg whites in a carton and cook those up.
- Canadian Bacon – If you don’t have any, use another lean protein.
- Cheddar Cheese – Or another light or low-fat cheese.
- Wheat English Muffins – Great for whole grain nutrtion.
With just these four ingredients, you will soon be on your way to a lower-calorie and filling breakfast.
How to Make McDonald’s Egg White Delight

Make-Ahead Instructions
These sandwiches are ideal for batch preparation and planning meals for the week. Prepare complete sandwiches and wrap individually in aluminum foil or parchment paper. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month. For best results, allow frozen sandwiches to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheating Guidelines
- Microwave Method: Remove wrapping and microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute until heated through
- Oven Method: Wrap in foil and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes for crispier results
- Toaster Oven: Unwrap and heat for 5-7 minutes for optimal texture
- Frozen Reheating: Add an additional 30 seconds to microwave time or 5 minutes to oven time

WHEN MCDONALD’S STOPPED OFFERING EGG WHITE BREAKFAST SANDWICGES I WENT NUTS! SO MY HUSBAND SAID HE COULD JUST AS GOOD! WELL FOLKS HE CAN AND THEY A BETTER! HE ADDED HIS CAJUN TOUCH! WE HAVE THEM TWICE A WEEK OR MORE. I’M HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!
Put bagels in toaster. Put eggs in bowl…scramble…microwave for 60 seconds. Take muffins out of toaster…slather with mayo or whatever…puts eggs on…eat while everyone else is trying to separate eggs.
I make an egg white sandwich every morn
I put a pad of butter in a round fry pan. Chop up
a spring onion and a
habanero pepper and add to
fry pan. Take 2 egg whites and whip with a fork and pour
over onion and peppers. cook one side and flip over when
egg is cooked. I use the Arnold Sandwich Thins. Wrap in saran wrap
The heat and moisture softens the sandwich thin and i eat it on my way to work
I save the egg yolks in a small bowl and within a week I scramble them up
and put on a flat wooden bird feeder. The birds love it.
Win Win for all of us
The egg yolks are the healthiest part, I don’t understand mentality of taking them out! The egg yolks contain important vitamins and minerals, healthy fats and healthy cholesterol, and besides, dietary cholesterol has little effect on serum cholesterol! You do your health a disservice by removing the all important egg yolk!
You don’t have to leave out the yolk anymore! There’s a new egg yolk replacer that looks, smells, tastes like egg perfect to replace those fatty yolks. http://www.thevegg.com
Rocky, I just looked at the ingredients to the Vegg egg yolks, so many ingredients! Real eggs yolks have one! I think I would trust mother nature over the Vegg egg yolks any day!
I make the egg white delight at home for about $1. You can make the night before and re-heat in foil or micro.
I love saving money 😉 Great idea about putting these in the oven to reheat!
Looks so yummy! I love McDonald’s breakfast so I am excited to try this 🙂
These sound like a great idea! I usually just slurp coffee at my computer..
That isn’t much of a breakfast!
What is your favorite breakfast?
Quiche prepared with eggs, salt, pepper, parsley, basil, teeny pinch if cayenne pepper, colored peppers, a variety variety of cheeses, fried hashbrown potatoes, light cream, and diced cooked ham all baked in a delectable buttery, flaky crust.
Okay! Now I’m hungry for quiche! Quiche is great because you can make and bake it the day before, stick it in the fridge, and simply reheat in the morning (covered). Instead of dicing the peppers, I slice in long decorative strips and place them, alternating colors, around the pie from center out to edge. Not only pretty, they make great pie slice dividers, too. Lol (Also, picky guests can easily remove them.)
That sounds like a wonderful breakfast. I want to give something like that a try. I love a hearty breakfast. It is a wonderful way to start a weekend.
