Ok, ok... I'll admit it. I've been known, on occasion, to stop by McDonald's for an Egg McMuffin (it's actually one of my recommended fast-food breakfast foods). This protein-packed meal is a perfect start to a busy day. With a total prep/cook time of less than 10 minutes, our version is not only a quick and easy breakfast, but with almost 30 grams of protein, it will keep you satisfied until lunch!
