Split the muffins and toast them until golden.
-
Heat half the oil in a 15 to 18 cm non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in half the egg whites and tilt the pan so they cover the base. Cook for 2 minutes, until almost set.
-
Lay a slice of cheese on one side of the egg, sprinkle with pepper and fold the egg over it, then fold it in half again to make a square. Slide it onto the bottom half of a muffin.
-
Repeat with the remaining oil, egg whites and cheese. Top each sandwich with the cucumber and the muffin tops and serve warm.
A Few Notes
Use a pan the width of the muffin so that the folded egg fits without trimming.
If the egg sheet sticks, add a drop more oil and loosen the edge with a spatula before folding.
Press the sandwich gently, not hard; whites squeak out from under a firm squeeze.
Storing and Reheating
Best eaten straight away. The cooked egg keeps in the fridge for 2 days; reheat it gently before assembling.
