Easy Egg White Delight Recipe
Okay, I’ll admit it—I have a thing for McDonald’s Egg White Delight. It’s one of those guilty pleasures I could honestly eat every morning and never get tired of. Just ask my husband (though be warned, he has opinions ).
At only 300 calories, it’s surprisingly healthy and super satisfying. So once I figured out how to make a copycat version at home, I was hooked. Bonus: mine actually clocks in with fewer calories than the original!
Now this easy, wholesome breakfast sandwich is our go-to way to start the day—especially when we have guests. It’s fast, filling, and totally delcicious.

Becky’s Tips
- You can buy egg whites in a carton and measure out one egg’s worth if you’d rather not separate the egg from the white.
- I used Herbs of Provence for my sandwich, but you might like other blends. Try Italian seasoning, poultry seasoning, or single herbs like basil, thyme, or rosemary.
- For the whole McDonald’s experience, wrap the finished Egg White Delight in wax paper or parchment paper for serving!

How to Store
Uneaten sandwiches should be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or placed in an airtight container. They will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. Pop it in the microwave to melt the cheese or eat straight from the fridge.
Serving Suggestions
When I have time to sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, I’ll make crockpot cheesy potatoes to go with this sandwich, along with a strawberry mango smoothie , and of course, a bulletproof coffee .

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
