This Mexican inspired breakfast torta takes only 5 minutes to make. So much tastier than an Egg McMuffin and healthier thanks to the egg whites.
Sometimes the simplest recipes are sometimes the best ones and this Mexican Breakfast Torta recipe is exactly that.
If you are not familiar with Mexican tortas, it’s a traditional sandwich that is commonly eaten in Mexico. It consists of soft bread filled with meats, vegetables, and other condiments.
These breakfast tortas take no time at all to make. From start to finish it shouldn’t take you more than 10 minutes to make.
I highly recommend you use egg rings for this recipe. The diameter of the rings is a perfect fit for the diameter of the English muffins.
I used liquid egg whites for this recipe as I almost always have some on hand but in a pinch, you can substitute for a single egg. A 1/4 cup of liquid egg whites is equivalent to 1 egg.
Recipe Variation
You can add the diced Canadian bacon directly to the liquid eggs during cooking instead of topping the cooked egg with the diced bacon.
