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 recipe is fabulous! I microwave my egg whites and it works perfectly EVERY TIME!
Quick question: Can these be made ahead on Sunday for the week? Would the egg whites hold up and still be/taste good?
Cooked eggs are best enjoyed within 3-4 days, but you could totally individually package and freeze for longer storage! Thaw the night before, or reheat from frozen in the microwave at 50% power for 1 minute, then flip and do another 10-30 seconds on 100% power.

This is crazy. I still have no idea what sriracha sauce is or where to find it for the skinny bang bang shrimp!
Hey Patti- Sriracha is a type of hot sauce…you can find it at any grocery store. it will usually be in the sauces aisle or the Mexican food aisle. I found mine with all the other hot sauces, franks, etc. here is a link telling about sriracha. it shows a picture of what the bottle looks like too, hope you like it! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sriracha_sauce
