fried-egg sandwich a go-go

Recipe of the day:

Makes 1 sandwich

2 slices white bread (any kind you like)
2 slices low-fat Swiss or American cheese
1 whole extra-large egg or 2 extra-large egg whites
3 slices Canadian bacon
2 tablespoons chunky peanut butter (optional)
1 tablespoon blackberry jelly (or what's on hand)
1 scallion, finely chopped

1. Toast the bread and while still warm, top each slice with a piece of cheese.
2. In a nonstick skillet (the 9-inch size should do), fry the egg at the same time as you heat the bacon. Put the bacon on one of the cheese-topped slices and top with the fried egg.
3. Spread the peanut butter, if using, over the cheese on the other slice of bread and top with jelly and scallion. Put the slices together. Serve the sandwich sliced in half on the diagonal, if desired. (Try not to cut into the yolk, if you can.)
