Tap a step to highlight it, or turn on Cook Mode for large type and step-by-step focus.

  1. Split the muffins and toast them until golden.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
